Teresa de Lauretis, who coined the term the \u201cqueer theory\u201d in 1991, defines it as a project of \u201crethink[ing] the sexual in new ways, elsewhere and otherwise.\u201d In the almost three decades since this provocation, queer thinking, being, making and acting has evolved and proliferated across social, cultural, and political life. This show explores the intelligence of difference, of thinking and being other wise. The knowledge acquired through experiential processes, through manipulating materials and embodying research, extends beyond the initial twitch of intuition. It is a learning process perpetually gained through hardship, pain, curiosity and wonder. These featured artists manifest non-binary and non-conforming gender queerness in their materials-based approaches to photography, sculpture, and video. Hailing from East Asia to Brooklyn, their global vantage points reveal and subvert culturally and historically embedded gender norms. Reversing traditional roles in Korean opera, re-imagining the self and re-inventing childhood through the radical non-normativity of play, these works can be understood as self-fashioning, constructing new selves to be seen in all their imperfections and endless possibilities.<\/p>\n
