A series of events featuring queer videos, performances and much more,
curated by Leila P. in collaboration with La Centrale Galerie Powerhouse
http://www.lacentrale.org
At articule, 262 Fairmount O., Montréal
For the opening of The Gays of our Lives, queer video shorts curated by Leila P. will be projected prior to a performance and screening by Ms Vaginal Davis herself. The event will be followed by an informal discussion on queer video and performance moderated by Ms Davis and José Muñoz.
Vaginal Davis is an originator of the homo-core punk movement and a gender-queer art icon. Set apart from gallery-centered art, and Hollywood movies, and from those systems' necessities of high-polish, low-substance production, Ms. Davis's performance, experimental film and video practice has critiqued exclusionary conceits from the outside.
