Queer Painting: Intervals

Developed through an ongoing curatorial research project by Katie Tomlinson and Chester Tenneson, Queer Painting investigates how and why contemporary artists are using painting to represent, celebrate and reimagine gender, bringing renewed vitality and urgency to a field historically rooted in cis-heteronormative legacies. Queer Painting: Intervals explores the gaps and fractures in which queer lives, bodies and narratives have been overlooked throughout this history. Bringing together an intergenerational group of artists, the exhibition examines how these intervals can be reoccupied, reworked and resituated through painting.
