"Rare&Raw: The 2013 Queer Caucus for Art CAA Exhibition" Exhibition
Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art
This event has ended.
Rare & Raw will represent the Queer Caucus for Art's annual exhibition held in conjunction with the College Art Association (CAA) conference.
Rare & Raw contains a combination of contemporary installations, archival photographs, drawings, ephemera and video, which explore themes of queer history, visibility and notions of representation. Driving questions in the creation of this exhibition include: how has queer history shaped current discourse on queer representation and how have notions of the archive informed contemporary queer art. The exhibition conceptually sequences works based on themes such as power, sexuality, history and the queer gaze. Artists include: Tom of Finland, G.B. Jones, William E. Jones, Will Munro, Kent Monkman, Nina Levitt, Zoe Leonard and Tara Mateik.
Curators Rogerson and McCray are pairing the works of more senior artists with their younger counterparts in order to cast light upon the different ways in which intergenerational artists engage with the same issues. As the curators articulate, "Our goal...is to invigorate dialogue about contemporary art practices through the examination of history, in order to illuminate notions of queer representation."
