They excavate and reclaim archives of Hollywood and popular culture; propose forms of queer monumentality and intergenerational memorialization; imagine alternatives to capitalist logics; and even sidestep representation in favor of sensory citations of the body, including sound and touch. These artists’ works mark the legacy of twentieth-century visual histories while negotiating the accelerating image cultures of the present—mapping queer cultural identity with a particular affection, skepticism, and prescience arrived at from the social margins. Participating artists, on view beginning June 18: Justin Allen, Angela Dufresne, Joy Episalla, Camilo Godoy, Roey Victoria Heifetz, Izidora L. LETHE, Glenn Ligon, Russell Perkins, Catalina Schliebener, Jonny Sopotiuk, Paul Wong. On view beginning July 16: Stephen Andrews, Sarah E.
