GLUCK, ART & IDENTITY

(AD137: PHOTOGRAPHY AND STYLING – SUBCULTURES)

 

This exhibition at the Brighton museum was very interesting, more so as I met a historian there who seemed to know a lot more about the exhibition than the information boards said.

She told me a lot about the more unknown information about Gluck, such as Gluck’s connection to the dresses that were on display and Gluck’s relationships.

Gluck did not want to be defined or known as any sort of label, just Gluck. This is very relevant to the research I have been doing in relation to subcultures. I suppose having alter egos that do not define as a certain gender is very similar to this, and it also relates very well to Sam’s turkish pop music photoshoot as he explores what it means to be masculine and whether being at all ‘feminine’ can change that.

I really enjoyed my trip and thought it was very eye-opening to the feeling in which an artist feels they need to express themselves whilst going through something, that at the time was not understood.
