About 'You Think It's _____, But It's Really _____':
BLAA’s tenth show, You Think It’s _____, But It’s Really _____, is an exhibition of work by artists living and creating at the intersection of LGBTQIA issues and culturally defined notions of “disability”.
Working through forms of invisibility produced at this intersection, these artists have developed different understandings of the labels most often meant to correct such an invisibility: “Disabled,” “Queer,” “Artist.”
From YoAhn Han’s amorphous abstractions to Chris Maliga’s images of a body deeply connected to its environment, the works showcased here visualize togetherness and multiplicity: how do two things fit together, within a body, between a body and its environment, between our bodies?
What kind of balance, between “disabled” and “queer,” between “myself” and “disability,” or between “physical” and “mental,” is or could be possible?
Representing a wide variety of experiences, practices, and media, You Think It’s _____, But It’s Really _____, is a timely consideration of a main issue and question within disability studies, queer theory and socially engaged practices today: how do we find ourselves in the intersection of these identities together?
