Call For Entries: AGENDA + baltimore vs. the world - Current Gallery, Baltimore, MD
Call For Entries: AGENDA: QUEERING POPULAR MEDIA exhibition at Current Gallery
Deadline: October 10, 2008
AGENDA (November 14-December 12, 2008 at Current Gallery, Baltimore USA) is interested in how queer subjectivity informs, and is mediated by, evolving technology, the media, and our present state of collective (un)consciousness; the use, abuse, and critique of popular media; and the creation of autonomous spaces for play, discourse, and protest. Mining the formal and narrative conventions of film and television, as well as the experimental opportunities afforded by new media, printed matter, and so forth, an illusory architecture emerges where both identities and histories are fluid.
Themes of marginalized desires, conceptions of celebrity, genesis and reinvention, reconciling the self through community, and the quandaries of visibility and voyeurism will be explored as the symptoms of immediacy precipitated by our digital age. By refitting the lens through which popular culture and media are viewed and re-calibrating the gaze, AGENDA will present new models of activism and representation, and seeks to document a unique moment in history when the collapse of public and private is expected, and surveillance spells opportunity.
