An exhibition about the award-winning blacktress, singer, artist, drag terrorist, icon, film director and writer Vaginal Davis requires a museum that is bigger than just four walls and a ceiling.
We start in “Magnificent Product” at Moderna Museet, where we will see that Vaginal Davis’ practice is an attempt at world building. This is shown in installations that weave in stories that took place on stage, in recording studios, in nightclubs or apartments, and in the pages of zines: tales documented in letters, recordings, and many, many stories. Ms Davis’ installations at Moderna Museet re-melds the archive and is constantly re-staging it.
A warm welcome to the extraordinary, wondrous and magnificent world of Ms Davis!
After Moderna Museet, we will walk together across the Skeppsholmen Bridge and into Nationalmuseum, where “Naked on my Ozgoad: Fausthaus-Anal Deep Throat” takes place. Here, in the Old Library, an installation highlights Ms Davis’ lifelong interest in the strange tales of the wizards and witches of the Land of Oz.
In addition, a selection of Vaginal Davis’s iconic paintings are on display in the adjacent museum gallery. Her paintings of queer networks and ‘women trapped in women’s bodies’ evoke an art history that reaches further back in time, and together we will discover several connections in Nationalmuseum’s collection of 19th century art.
