In conversation: Following Eugène – A Spring Outing


  • Verdandi Student Association Kalmar Nation, Svartmangatan 3 Uppsala 753 12 Sweden (map)

Join Stuart Mayes in conversation with Katarina Karyotaki as they discuss Stuart’s current research into Eugène Jansson’s participation in the 1907 Verdandi student association’s Spring Exhibition.

In the early 1900s Verdandi organised a series of Spring Exhibitions that attracted national attention, not least the 1907 iteration where Eugène Jansson showed his male nudes (naked athletes) for the first time. Taking this as a starting point Stuart’s project invites investigations of the city across and through queer experience.

The conversation is part of Verdandi’s cultural biennale, for further details visit their Facebook page
