Content Summary:

In the field of art, consciousness and sensitivity towards gender issues through workshops, forums and exhibitions featuring women artists have prevailed over the local arts scene since the Eighties. However we rarely hear voices from male artists regarding their own situation and experiences as 'gendered-subject'; and artistic intervention, confined among the single sex, is placed under the big rubric of 'women's art'. When we subscribe to the terms and ideas of 'women's art', could we also subscribe to the idea of 'male art' on equal terms? In recent years, with growing concerns about masculinity in Cultural Studies and new living experiences, have men stayed the same? Or have there been subtle changes that we have not noticed? Man Made invites artists, critics and scholars of different ages and sexuality to re-examine the gendered-subjects and respond to the above queries to masculinity. This publication is a detailed account of the project, which brings together different arguments and debate among various writers and artists reflecting on the complexity of the issue.
