August 2020

...is about a smaller artist-run space having its rent doubled during a pandemic and being forced to find a new space...//the person writing this is dyslexic, sorry for any typos! ///...is from conversations with friends and artists about various recent queer/fem pedagogy through tech...///a response to Paul Preciado’s Artforum article: Learning from the Virus...///...ok, the title of the exhibition is like a mix of the word zoom and zoonotic, a word referring to diseases that can be kin with both humans and animals/// misspelled the word in the title, sorry!! ////yeah...it’s kinda all an experiment, ya know? None of us know how to make a website or have the money to pay artist people rightfully what they are owed rn /// there's much unseen labor in digital exhibitions and arts /// we're trying to embrace a queer, fail'd sensibility with this one... /// we asked and paid participating artists for a little of their queer catharsis and not to worry about the show as traditional gallery output, if they wanted to..../// there's links to artist work and links that want to share to provide some routes for other queer readings or content. :) /// how useful are all the digital exhibitions we've been seeing?? I don't know??!1?! /// Hope to add to the website more in the future?! /// ...What is bringing you some queer catharsis rn, y'all? ( lol sorry, straights and cis Mr. Chad!!) I see enough of you on my screens already...
Ongoing Artist List: Hiba Ali, Andrew Douglas Campbell, Kara Clarke, Peter Fankhauser, Jovencio de la Paz, Stacy Jo Scott, Adrian Silva
