Exhibitionism: A Symposium on Queer Curatorial Practices will take place on November, 16.
The symposium will explore the cultural, political, art historical and artistic implications of queer curatorial practices.
The international art scene has witnessed an increase in queer exhibitions that have shed new light on LGBTQ art and on the sexual and social dimensions of innovative curating.
This symposium gathers together curators, theorists, film programmers, journalists and artists working in queer exhibition practices across a variety of institutions and contexts.
They intend to investigate and debate the diversity of curatorial perspectives on historical and contemporary queer art and film and to examine a wide range of issues, among them: the role of the curator as authorial force; the queering of visual fields; the discovery and recovery of repressed queer histories and desires in museum, galleries and cinemas; the political work of curatorial practice.
Speakers will include:
Sam Ashby, Michael Blyth, Niranjan Kamatkar, Pawel Leszkowicz, Richard Parkinson, Lara Perry, Michael Petry, Michael Pierce, Kate Smith, Matt Smith and Simon Watney.
The event is organised by Pawel Leszkowicz and John David Rhodes, and sponsored by the Centre for Visual Fields and the Centre for the Study of Sexual Dissidence and Cultural Change (University of Sussex), and the Brighton Museum. Entry is free, and there is no need to register.
The entrance to the Old Courthouse auditorium is on the small side street opposite the entrance to the Brighton Dome.
