Because when they look at me, how the rest of the world looks at me can dissolve. I forget about the man accosting me on the street, telling me that a woman should never walk by a man with her head down. He follows me for a block and around the corner. When I lose patience and yell back, I know I am not safe in this world. When the confused man on the corner, high on something or other, realizes I am not quite a boy…
NOISE is proud to present a show about queer care, friendship, intimacy, and community represented by portraiture. Included artists create images that emerge from the communities in which they are immersed, sharing the intimacy of their social relations in images that celebrate those associations without losing sight of contradiction, ambiguity, and internal turmoil. Potential artists include Elliot Clausen, Brick Kyle, Bun Stout, and Mange. Themes include the complexity and contradiction within beauty, perception, and subversion of the traditional gaze. These highly aestheticized suites of images represent care, and a deep technical proficiency or mastery of craft, as well as a longstanding interest in the history of images in western culture.
A quick reminder, copies of NOISE 1: Things That Aren’t, NOISE 2: Output Sabotage, Videogame Ads in Comics Volume 1: 1982-1985, One-Two Punch, and Pulse and Pulsar are available for purchase at Friends of Art Bookstore and online at http://noise.center/shop
