Just Different! is the title of an art exhibition about sexual desire, gender and identity construction in the visual arts at the turn of the 21st century. Disregarding for the moment the heterosexual dominance of much of our daily life, it reveals instead alternative orientations and sexual expression such as homosexuality and transsexuality in over 100 artworks. Among the 47 international artists participating the exhibition includes works by Paul Blanca and Rachid Ben Ali, the controversial Moroccan-Dutch artist (b. 1975 Taza, Morocco) whose works have already triggered anger and threats from Islamic militants in the Netherlands. Also on view are works by Gilbert & George, Nan Goldin, Marlene Dumas, Wolfgang Tillmans, Marlene McCarty and many others. Epitomising the exhibition will be the nine-metre high monumental statue of David, in bright pink and canary yellow, by Hans-Peter Feldmann, which will be installed in the square outside of the Cobra Museum for Modern Art.
The Cobra Museum of Modern Art is located in the suburb of Amstelveen, situated in the southern part of Amsterdam.
