E X I L E is pleased to participate in this year’s edition of →curated by with a group exhibition curated by Vienna-based artist and curator Julius Pristauz.
With a strong focus on the negotiation of approaches towards how bodies, sex, and forms of gender expression are deconstructed and reconstructed in queer communities and their allies’ artistic practices, Untitled (MOLLY HOUSE) raises questions as to the historical entanglement of gender politics as well as the visibility and space given to discussions necessary in order to learn about their origins.
Looking at the subversive potential of transformation, the exhibition tells stories of individual experiences that evoke curiosity in their community.
