The exhibition 'My Romantic Ideal,' curated by Slava Mogutin, gathers 28 queer artists to address the complexities of love and desire against a backdrop of increasing societal conservatism. Opening on May 1 and running until August 31, the exhibit highlights diverse and revolutionary expressions of romance that defy traditional norms. Mogutin emphasizes the necessity of providing a platform for marginalized voices, while artists share personal interpretations of romance that reflect a multifaceted narrative shaped by history, culture, and personal experience.
The title of the exhibition reflects the tension between societal expectations of romance and the deeply personal, rebellious, and liberating expressions of love and desire that queer artists present.
This show is about creating a space for artists who can't simply show their work at most institutions or commercial galleries.
