GLAMOUR, is a sexy, playful and most of all politically astute exhibition dealing with issues of glamour and its visual representations in contemporary culture. Inherent in this show are political questions surrounding issues of gender and sexual fluidity as they relate to beauty and desire. In an increasingly connected world, visual imagery can often take on its own agency, challenging previously held ideals of beauty and allure. Within this evolving culture, where new technologies shape the way images are developed and consumed, glamour continues to be powerful because of its ability to entice and seduce while simultaneously revealing truths about our deepest longings and insecurities. CAG’s show, GLAMOUR exists within this gray area between the mask and the reveal, showcasing important work wrestling with representation in a world that is obsessed with looking.
