Beyond the Manosphere. Masculinities Today

Description

What does it mean to be a man today? With the emergence of what is called the 'manosphere' – a network of online spaces, communities, and platforms where misogynistic conceptions of masculinity are propagated – this question has become urgent. The exhibition takes the term 'manosphere' literally and reinterprets it counter to the trend: if we imagine masculinity as a 'sphere', what would we find there? What cultural universes and realities shape masculinity today, and what space do they occupy? The exhibition features works by 35 artists from the collections of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Kunstmuseum in St. Gallen, as well as loans and new commissions. 'Beyond the Manosphere. Masculinities Today' was presented at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam earlier this year. Organized by Melanie Bühler, it will be visible at the Kunstmuseum in St. Gallen from October 3, 2026, to January 24, 2027, in a slightly modified form.
