Exhibition Opening: Cock

Cock - A Modern Approach to Deconstructing Masculinity

Masculinity is a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles associated with and or prescribed to men and boys. Masculinity can be biologically, culturally, and socially defined.

Masculinity is distinct from the definition of biological sex, as both men and women can exhibit masculine traits/behaviors. "Cock" intends to spotlight all biological and socially defined attributes, behavior, and roles associated with Masculinity while also using the rooster, a male bird, as a symbol for its representation.

We are looking for work that exemplifies and explores a more modern and conceptual deconstruction of Masculinity. Work that pushes the envelope and widens the intellectual, visual, and simplistic perception of what it means to be Masculine. We are also looking for work that celebrates men & masculine energy and the complex struggles/topics related to Masculine identity.
