This exhibition explores the acceptance and possibilities of male expression through the theme of "male nudity," exhibiting a wide variety of images of men by contemporary artists of different genders, sexualities, and modes of expression.
While an overwhelming majority of people in the art scene still think of "nudity" as "female nudity," and this image continues to gain popularity, sexual expression has also been the subject of criticism as "sexism and sexual consumption." Frequent and extreme controversies even have led to fears that nudity and sexual expression may be regulated or curtailed. On the contrary, "male nudity" still lacks many opportunities to gather and compare works by Japanese artists and to discuss the subject.
In this exhibition, we attempted to express the body and eroticism unique to the male nude, as well as to examine them from various transitional perspectives on gender. I hope that this exhibition will provide an opportunity to stimulate discussion about the expression of male nudity.
"Male bodies" were expressed by thirteen artists. We hope that many people will experience the wonder and richness of expressing human beings.
