FEMO(r): Performance and Installation
Ben Cuevas, Ruben Esparza, Jeffrey Hutchison, Amy Von Harrington, and Daphne Von Rey are all exploring their shared state of queerness as an homage to the Pride month of June. According to Ruben Esparza, the exhibition's curator, "Everyone in this show uses their bodies in some form, to probe the diversity of their imaginations. These are brave, self-reflective artists who have mixed both the melancholia and wonderment in their lives; to lift us into a new age of sensuality and beauty."
June 6-27 at Wallspace
607 N. La Brea, Los Angeles, CA 90036
