Sharp Cuts: Queer Collage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at Clamp Art in New York, New York, USA
18 July-29 August 2024<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Sharp Cuts: Queer Collage” is a group exhibition including work by sixteen artists.

Collage synthesizes disparate elements to forge cohesive, albeit multifarious, narratives. This process mirrors the lived experiences of queer individuals who navigate, reconstruct, and recontextualize their identities within societal and political paradigms. The exhibition foregrounds this metamorphic journey, showcasing how materials can be appropriated and transformed to articulate new meanings, challenge commonly swallowed cultural mores, and foster inclusive discourses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Meaning of Gravity<\/em> by Ken Graves (1942-2016)

David Wojnarowicz\u2019s assertion, \u201cI make collages of various things from the world and then I find out what I’m about from the collage,\u201d encapsulates the thesis of the show. Here, each artwork is not merely a visual assemblage but an introspective and critical dialogue with its constituent fragments. The act of collaging becomes a practice of self-exploration and socio-political critique, where the juxtaposition of images, texts, and objects engenders a space for subversion and reclamation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists in the exhibition are: Aaron Krach, Anthony Goicolea, Antonio Pulgar\u00edn, Boris Torres, Charles Wilkin, Florencia Alvarado, Guanyu Xu, John Cassidy Smith, John O\u2019Reilly, Jonah Samson, Justine Kurland, Kelli Connell\/Natalie Krick, Ken Graves, Lovie Olivia, and Michael Young <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-curated by Brian Paul Clamp and Michael Young.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
