intimately preserved, 2013
Intimately Preserved was a solo exhibition of artwork inspired by historical research at LGBT archives in Philadelphia, San Francisco and Bloomington, Indiana. Visually investigating the kept, the intimate and the ordinary through sculpture and print, this exhibition reveals how saving particular objects, arranging them just so, and disposing of other items marks us as both similar to and unique from each other.
The exhibition included a number of free events including a tour of the archive with historian Bob Skiba, a letterpress printing event with artist Eli VandenBerg, a lecture by Aren Aizura and Emmett Ramstad about archivist Sam Steward, and a series of printing classes in the archive.
With Support from The Leeway Foundation Art and Change Grant, 2012.
