Queering The Abject
@ Defibrillator Performance Art Gallery
1463 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Saturday, December 9th, from 5PM - 9PM
Our focus will be rooted in queered, racialized and sexualized bodies, roleplay, sadomasochism and sadism and the agency of the ‘other’ and ‘othered’ bodies. This exhibition will investigate the power situated within the abject, primarily through queerness. There is a foci on the combination of death and eroticism, ‘looking’ at the ‘othered’ body and the imperative implication of the ‘gaze’ in creating visual media. With a focus on the inherent power and alluded attraction to the perverse, the sexual and the violent.
*This gallery is mostly wheelchair accessible (however there is a basement area that is only accessible by stairs).
