Opening: Wednesday 31 October, 6 - 8 pm Dates: 31 October - 24 NovemberThe exhibition investigates the potential for queer subjectivity and atypical modes of desire to be explored as virtual centres of power. Munoz describes a queer aesthetic as having the capacity to map a forward-dawning futurity and to carve paths of potentiality. The installation syncs the embodied with the simulated and considers modes of existing and desiring that splinter from the norm. A flesh that flows, a sound that fucks, a platonic hard on. Manifestations and delusions. It looks towards a subtle body politic and mindful contemplation where queerness can reveal utopian ideals.
