Bringing together the works of nineteen nationally recognized artists, Will Boys be Boys? examines the nature of adolescent masculinity in art from the past 5 years, including paintings, photographs, and sculptures to installation pieces and video works. The artists explore the notion of the adolescent male, as a socially determined type, in terms of his physical appearance-clothing, hairstyle, and accessories-as well as his pastimes and behaviors. Aware of post-feminist ideas about the complex fluidity of gender and identity, these artists treat the subject with deliberate ambiguity, manifested as a mixture of celebration, critique, imitation, and desire. Male adolescence is seen as a multivalent condition: sometimes androgynous, even feminine in some respects; both arrogant and vulnerable; alternating at times between threatening menace and exuberant innocence.
