Description

Queer Exhibition Histories by Bas Hendrikx explores the intersection of art history and queer politics through case studies of landmark exhibitions and their impact on public presence. This anthology delves into the modes of documentation and archiving used in these projects, often relying on personal archives to preserve their legacy. The book examines how LGBTQ artists have advanced their visibility in museums and society, including the Storefront for Art and Architecture's 1994 Queer Spaces exhibition and Martha Rosler's Dia exhibition If you lived here. It also considers the role of exhibitions such as Untold Stories, Estonia's first queer group exhibition, and the Guggenheim Transparency initiative. Through these case studies, Hendrikx sheds light on the complexities of queerness in contemporary art and its relationship with museum policies and activism.
