Author: Braun, Stephanie
This volume spotlights works by 30 artists who address different facets of queerness. Each featured artist has mined their individual experience in order to critique and/or flout social constructions of power. Artists include: Leigh Bowery, Katherine Bradford, Félix González-Torres, Keith Haring, Peter Hujar, Chloe Sherman, Cindy Sherman, Andy Warhol. The book also includes numerous critical and literary texts that explore multiple facets of queer art, thinking, politics and culture. It features interviews with scholars of gender and queer studies as well as texts on queer pop and film history, ballroom culture, queer fashion, the history of pride in Germany and the development of § 175 (a German statute that criminalized sexual relations between men). Literary and sociopolitical texts by queer art writers Hengameh Yaghoobifarah, Daniel Schreiber and Benno Gammerl, among others, complement this multiperspective view of queer culture.
ISBN 9783991530503. Verlag für moderne Kunst. pb. 200 pages. 206 colour, 23 b/w ills. 29.8 x 22.9 cm.
