A Woman\nLooking at Men Looking at Women. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 January \u2013 30 June 2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muzeum\nSusch, a new institution founded by Gra\u017cyna Kulczyk, is situated in the\nhistoric village Susch in the Engadin, Switzerland. This appealing, elongated\nvalley has always been a locus of cultural exchange between borders. Artists\nand intellectuals have long been fascinated by this landscape and over the\nyears many have chosen to live and work in the Engadin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA Woman Looking\nat Men Looking at Women\u201d – the inaugural exhibition at Muzeum Susch Curated by\nKasia Redzisz – takes as its point of departure one of Gra\u017cyna Kulczyk\ncollection\u2019s key strengths, its focus on women artists, to explore the notion\nof the feminine in its diverse facets: social, political and cultural. Amongst\nthe works on loan for this exhibition, Evelyne Axell diptych \u201cLes championnes\u201d\n(1966) was selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From\nartistic conventions of female representation through sexual emancipation to\nthe questioning of traditional gender roles, the show addresses many issues\ncentral to feminist theory. Yet, rather than reiterating established polemics,\nit seeks to offer a fresh perspective on the paradoxes of the feminine. In the\nworks on display, the female gaze predominates; the body is a source of\npleasure rather than an ideological battlefield; motherhood and domesticity are\nmarked not just by tenderness but also by tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Borrowing\nits title from Siri Hustvedt\u2019s eponymous 2012 essay, which analyses the\nperceptual biases that affect how we judge both art and the wider world, the\nshow celebrates pioneering women artists, who have only recently attained their\nlong-deserved places in the art-historical canon. More importantly, however, it\ntells the story of those who, regardless of gender, found the passion,\ncreativity and courage to challenge not only social norms but also the limits\nof art and its restrictive categories. As Hustvedt herself wrote: \u201cA work of\nart has no sex.\u201d A fearless commitment to experimentation and to pushing the\nboundaries of art lies at the very core of this exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
