As part of Midsumma 2013, Melbourne's annual Queer Celebration, the Blue and Pink Phenomenon Exhibition examines the queer role within today's post-identity and post-gender society.
"Blue and Pink Phenomenon presents a Queer frisson in a heterogeneous
world.
Curated by Jessica Bridgfoot, works featured include Deborah
Pauuwe's beautiful photographic images of anonymous young girl subjects
in the midst of an awakening sexuality and performative desires;
Sydney-based performance and video artist Liam Benson appears in various
tragic-comic fictional Australiana guises with new work and his ongoing
Motherland series; Deborah Kelly presents a series of animalistic paper
sculptures with the loud, queer and sometimes violent major animation
work Beastliness; and Drew Pettifer's photographic outdoor
billboard installation, Still Revolting, examines the ongoing relevance
of the queer protester as an agent of political and social change." - The Substation
Exhibited at The Substation,
Melbourne's newest contemporary community-based arts centre, the exhibition closes March 3rd, 2013.
The Substation: 1 Market St, Newport VIC
Gallery Hours: Thursday - Sunday 11am - 5pm
