Dopolavoro

DOPOLAVORO GOLAB & ERA STUDIO present BOYS CLUB, curated by Martin Butler and Giorgio Bartoli. The exhibition “Boys Club” is a group exhibition combining video, photography, fashion and performance that takes  a fresh view on the portrayal of the adolescent male in contemporary society. The Dutch photographers Joost Vandebrug and  Bart Julius Peters,  the Canadian artist  Kyle Tryhorn, the young French photographer Florent Routoulp / Chocolat_Poire and Korean fashion designer Hyun Yeu, represent several generations from three continents that all share  elements of this fascination within their work.
Some times nostalgic, sometimes romantic, sometimes explicit,  sometimes dealing with the reality of the struggle of  redefining identity during the transition from boyhood to manhood,  but always engaging. “Boys Club” is an homage to  that  fleeting moment of  the blossoming, the blossoming that exists for the shortest time…

“Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you’re a boy
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out”
David Bowie
