Looking for Jerry
- the male muse
Several of the women behind the project "Looking for Jerry" were also behind the exhibition "Sub Rosa - The Flower in Nordic Contemporary Art" shown at the Charlottenborg Udstillingsbygning in Copenhagen, Södertalje Konsthall in Sweden, and the Amos Anderson Konstmuseum in Finland in 2000-2001. These artist threw new light at a genre previously associated with a harmless female hobby - flower painting - and now they engage upon another traditional theme in art history: The artist and his muse - only this time it's the artist and HER muse.
Where are the male figures in the universe of the female artists?

"Looking for Jerry - the male muse" is an ovation to The Man
- Man the model, the inspiration!
- Man the admirable creature!
- Man the fascination!
