Art Opening: ARTcrawl June 16, 2023 | Reception 8:00-9:00pm | Event 5:00-10:00pm
Deep Southwest Performance in Studio One 9:00-10:00pm
June 16 – August 14, 2023
In the signs appear as in aspic, horror-adjacent, cinematic imagery is reimagined as transgressive access to queer and trans embodiment through processes of collage and painting. Alluding to the hapless protagonists in the Daphne Du Maurier gothic novel and 1973 film version of Don’t Look Now, the exhibition’s title refers to a failure to notice warnings of future events as left by more psychically connected past selves. These warnings are “not threatening to those who cannot read the signs,” but for those who can, the signs appear as “in aspic.” Relating this premise to their own work and life, Neudorf asks: What is needed to be known and seen as a queer and trans subject, what conditions of visibility are necessary in that being knownness, and what tools – built out of necessity and survival – have been left in the present by a self (or selves) from the past?
