Lukey Walden: Them/Here
@ Sustain Gallery & Workspace
1201 W Leland, Chicago IL, 60640
Opening Saturday, October 7th, from 7PM - 9:45PM
A two week installation at Sustain by featured artist Lukey Walden.
“The subjects of each of these paintings are, like me, gender nonconforming transgender individuals. Beyond the basic fact that these are people who have been historically excluded from the canon of portraiture, I present these paintings to a cisgender audience as a record of moments shared between two trans people. I do so in hopes that the viewer will reflect on the kind of public intimacy that trans people are forced into every day, and that you begin to consider your own complicity in turning our privacy into a public spectacle.”
-Lukey Walden
