Opening June 27, 2024
Titled after a David Bowie song, Up the Hill Backwards celebrates the radical potential of discovering meaning beyond established paradigms. A hallmark of queer aesthetics is embracing in-between spaces that are unfixed, where something is neither this nor that. The artists showcased in the exhibition explore the power of indeterminacy and how freeing ourselves from definitions allows for new experiences and possibilities of existence.
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
It's got nothing to do with you, if one can grasp it
Yeah, yeah, yeah - up the hill backwards
It'll be alright
- David Bowie, "Up the Hill Backwards" (1980)
Featured artists: Shimon Attie, Jen Bervin, Timothy Cummings, Chris Doyle, Bill Jacobson
