The artists turn their cameras on men, addressing and reversing conventional hierarchies, while also placing various manifestations of masculinity under experimental, quasi-anthropological study. In an introduction and post-screening discussion, curator Rachael Rakes will discuss these works in light of contemporary alternative ethnographies and consider masculinity as a construct in nonfiction artmaking. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1976-2010, various artists, multiple countries, multiple formats, ca 82 minutes followed by discussion<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Rachael Rakes<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is the head curator and manager of the Curatorial Programme at De Appel in Amsterdam.
