"Transformer. Aspekte der Travestie" [Transformer: Aspects of Travesty] curated by Jean-Christophe Amman at the Kunstmuseum Luzern in Switzerland in spring 1974 (and later shown in Graz and Bochum), today appears as one of the queer exhibitions avant la lettre. Its title referred to the second solo album by Lou Reed from 1972, and indeed the then-current gender-bending trend in music (David Bowie, Brian Eno, Mick Jagger, New York Dolls) and experimental theatre (The Cockettes) from New York was the key influence for this show. Its main focus was the Swiss photographer Urs Lüthi, whose self-portraits in drag were placed in context with works by Jürgen Klauke, Pierre Molinier, Walter Pfeiffer, and Luigi Ontani, among others. Katharina Sieverding was the only woman included in the show. ."Travesty," here defined as the in-between of male and female, therefore was mainly considered from a cis-male perspective. .According to Peter Gorsen, who had previously published extensively on women and sexuality in the arts and contributed an extensive essay to the catalogue, "travesty," rather than transgender, was particularly "interesting for the arts," because gender here is primarily understood superficially as a matter of appearance?it's not about actually becoming the other gender.It would take about another forty years until transgender eventually became "interesting for the arts," but more on that later.Whereas "Transformer" is not very well-known nor was it broadly commented upon by critics in its time, the exhibition "Eldorado. Homosexuelle Frauen und Männer in Berlin 1850-1950. Geschichte, Alltag und Kultur" [Eldorado: Homosexual Women and Men in Berlin 1850-1950. History, Everyday Life and Culture] at the Berlin Museum in 1984 made headlines across Europe. .One reason why this show was so remarkable is that it included both a lesbian and a gay section, at a time when both groups were at odds. Its goal was to represent queer life as an essential part of the city's history, therefore making "visibility" one of its major issues. Not an art exhibition in the strict sense, "Eldorado" rather aimed for an overall depiction of gay and lesbian lives in Berlin, not shying away from what a current perspective might understand as mere cliché (the lesbian café, the gay cruising area). . As it ended in the year 1950, it maintained a historical distance, but nonetheless caused protests even before its opening.[ Today it is considered the founding exhibition of the Schwules Museum*, which came into being in 1985 and over the years has established itself as a unique place for the display of queer lives and art production until this date.
