Dreamy – Queer Imaginaries

Dreamy showcases queer works from the collections of the Finnish National Gallery. It deals with subjects related to queer self-searching, pain, love, desire, fantasy and dream fulfillment. In this context, ‘queer’ denotes a practice or way of being that deviates from the norm. What does it mean to be queer, and how does queerness show in the exhibits? The featured artists are Lynda Benglis, Jessica Andrey Bogush, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Nan Goldin, Artor Jesus Inkerö, Jukka Korkeila, Anne Koskinen, Reija Meriläinen, Kalervo Palsa, Tero Puha, Jacolby Satterwhite, Anna Uddenberg and Bogna Luiza Wisniewska. The exhibition is curated by Max Hannus, a freelance curator and writer.
