‘The Cult of Beauty’

Traductor de Google:

Art. This exhibition traces the evolution of ideals of beauty questioning the construction of aesthetic canons and reclaiming the bodies and kinds of beauty that are excluded from the norm.

The Cult of Beauty offers a critical look at the construction of aesthetic canons from antiquity to the present day, and analyses the role played by art, society, politics, religion and medicine. It also explores the cosmetics industry, design and product marketing, and focuses on skin, hair and flesh as battlefields in the fight to control bodies.

The exhibition brings together works of art, historical documents and objects, and contemporary installations to address themes such as status, health, age, gender and race. It includes works by William Hogarth, Angelica Dass, Laura Aguilar, Juno Calypso, Zed Nelson, Shirin Fathi, Narcissister, Ismael Smith, Isidre Nonell, Josep Masana, Colita, Sandra Gamarra, Esther Ferrer, Regina José Galindo, Maria Alcaide, Colectivo Ayllu, Lorenza Böttner, Marina Vargas, Arvida Byström, Harriet Davey and Renaissance Goo x Baum & Leahy.
