In 1903 W. E. B. Du Bois's hybrid text The Souls of Black Folk made history as a work of sociological thought, and would go on to become a cornerstone of African American literature. In it, he combined music, history and memoir to advance a vital message of resistance in the uniquely dehumanising context of the so-called ‘Jim Crow' era. It was in this collection that Du Bois, in ‘Of Our Spiritual Strivings', wrote of the ‘double consciousness' experienced by the Black subject - a ‘sense of always looking at one's self through the eyes of others, of measuring one's soul by the tape of a world that looks on in amused contempt and pity'. Over a century later, artist Christina Quarles brings new energy to Du Bois's unfinished project, speaking to his melodious text with her own distinctive visual poetics, testing and inverting the ‘double consciousness' idea. Quarles, whose work is informed by her own daily experience with ambiguity, engages with the world from a position that is multiply situated. As in Du Bois, the central focus of her practice is to find political power in categories used to undermine.

Het zijn opwindende tijden voor jonge schilders: corona, #metoo, Black Lives Matter, het klimaat, mondialisering – allemaal thema’s die vragen om een reactie. Maar hoe toon je als jonge schilder je betrokkenheid, in je eentje, in je atelier, met verf en doek? En wat betekent die betrokkenheid als je schilderijen ineens belanden in de greep van de markt? Brave New World, samengesteld en geschreven door Hans den Hartog Jager, laat zien dat jonge kunstenaars als Njideka Akunyili Crosby, Antonio Obá, Louis Fratino en Issy Wood, met zeer verschillende achtergronden, op grote vragen heel verschillende, fascinerende antwoorden geven. Ze combineren een virtuoze schildertechniek met rijke verwijzingen naar de kunstgeschiedenis, de wereld van alledag en hun persoonlijke achtergrond. Daarmee is het werk van deze generatie een perfecte verbeelding van de wereld waarin we leven – maar dan mooier, gelaagder, intenser.

'Kiss my genders' celebrates the work of more than 20 international artists whose practices explore and engage with gender fluidity, as well as non-binary, trans and intersex identities. Published alongside an exhibition, the book features works from the late 1960s and early 1970s through to the present, and focuses on artists who draw on their own experiences to create content and forms that challenge accepted or stable definitions of gender. Working across painting, immersive installations, sculpture, text, photography and film, many of these artists treat the body as a sculpture, and in doing so open up new possibilities for gender, beauty, and representations of the human form. The publication includes texts from writers, theorists, curators, poets and artists who have made key contributions to thinking in the field. From pop culture and gender dissidence to the embrace of the 'monstrous' or 'freaky', from the politics of prose to transfeminism and politics on the street, each of these writers throws light on a different way of seeing. Also featured is a round-table discussion between a selection of artists and exhibition curator Vincent Honoré.
