About the event
Monstrous Beauty: A Feminist Revision of Chinoiserie at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) offers a bold and thought-provoking reimagining of Chinoiserie, the European artistic style that drew inspiration from Chinese aesthetics. This exhibition challenges the traditional representations of Chinoiserie by incorporating a feminist perspective, exploring how gender, power, and cultural identity intersect in art.
Through innovative works and installations, the exhibition highlights how Chinoiserie, often viewed as a symbol of exoticism and fascination with the East, is revisited and redefined by contemporary artists. It offers a fresh and critical examination of colonialism, race, and the gendered dynamics inherent in the historical depictions of Eastern art.
