Nils Dardel, Den döende dandyn, 1918, Öl auf Leinwand, Moderna Museet, Stockholm
Zwei Expert*innen tauschen sich über zentrale Themen der Ausstellung Schwedische Moderne aus und bringen diese in Verbindung mit aktuellen Fragestellungen aus Kunst, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft. Mit Simon Schultz (Kulturwissenschaftler und Künstler) und Thesea Rigou (Kunstvermittler*in und Künstler*in).
How much freedom do we have in how we present ourselves? The Swedish artist Nils Dardel was renowned for his extravagant lifestyle, experimenting with his image in both his art and everyday life. Taking Dardel as a starting point, this guided tour will explore how appearance and self-presentation can be forms of artistic expression, challenging social expectations around identity and gender in the process.
Simon Schultz is an artist and cultural studies scholar whose work explores representations of gender, activism, and popular culture. Most recently, he developed a programme of drag tours for the Hamburger Kunsthalle, exploring the more extravagant aspects of the exhibitions alongside drag kings and queens. He lives and works in Hamburg.
Thesea Rigou Efstathopoulos (b. 1997 in Cyprus) has worked as a freelance art mediator at the Brücke-Museum Berlin for over three years. Their artistic practice spans printmaking, ceramics, drawing, installation, and participatory activities, often as part of the artist duo Helena & The Sea. Focusing on material cycles and socio-ecological kinship, Thesea approaches art mediation as an embodied, relational process that involves working with the body as much as with words.
