After a successful first exhibition showing work by 26 artists on the subject of new femininity, Curated By Girls is back on November 12th and 13th at the Berlin gallery Blender&Co for a second, approachable event focussing on the work by a single artist: Poster Boys by Joseph Wolfgang Ohlert.
The work in this exhibition portrays individuals in poster formats that will be sold from a limited stock for very affordable prices. The 10, unreleased portraits that will be exhibited here focus on the male figure; showing and celebrating a somewhat vulnerable, feminine side of the masculine young men being portrayed.
“These are portraits of young men, who I think are beautiful, some I met through Facebook, Instagram, some are good friends. Through photography, I get to know so many interesting personalities and also hot guys. I love it. There are so many people out there I would love to have in my life, but I can’t, so with the photos I’m taking of them I’m creating a connection we will have forever. I sometimes feel like if I don’t take a picture of whoever I’m meeting, it doesn’t actually feel like we have met.” – Statement of the Artist.
Curated by GIRLS promotes visual art online, providing a platform for young, new artists who focus on themes such as Freedom, Diversity and Equality. The website was conceived to challenge mainstream stereotypes around gender, beauty standards and the concept of normality, by providing space to an open-minded vision of the world through Art.

Joseph Wolfgang Ohlert is a young, Berlin based artist, who challenges gender norms in his work. For his project “Gender as a Spectrum” the artist found and portrayed individuals around the globe who don’t conform to stereotypical binary gender roles. Collected in a table book, this project displays a variety of individuals, celebrating the wide gender spectrum.
