Showcasing work by Sean Fader, Amber Hawk Swanson, Oli Rodriguez, and Aiden Simon, the exhibition presents a new generation of queer artists who have developed practices that re-imagine performance art, life-works, and social participation.
Not content to accept the lives and limits given to them, these artists embed themselves in communities and social practices in order to re-create their pasts and their futures. They engage with these communities not as knowing observers or objective commentators but as earnest contributors. Their work takes the form of social media, photography, performance events, sculpture, and durational concepts, and it revolves around their dedication to opening their lives to new solidarities and populations. From the retracing of parental sex partners to re-imagined youthful memories to looking for love and authenticity online and in real time, these artists undertake practices that alter their lives and their social worlds. Rather than offering ironic critique or self-satisfied oppositionalism, the Participants risk making their lives porous with their art in order to remap their loves and their days. They search for ways to remake their own histories, to re-imagine their futures, and to establish sympathies in unexpected or disavowed locations.
Life and art, public and private, maker and subject — all become impossible distinctions. This work pollutes the making of art with the living out of fantasy, and it does not apologize for its ethical ambiguities, bittersweet pleasures, and leaps of faith. Sex (or its promise) is a major area of concern in these works, as each artist’s practice revolves around the needs and sympathies found in other bodies and different persons. The record of these lifeworks — some years in the making and living — are social media archives, photographs, sculptures, and urban legends. This exhibition brings together a range of objects produced in the course of these lifeworks — objects that mark the progress of social engagements and lives lived.
Sean Fader spent 365 days making photographic portraits of men he met on sixteen different online dating sites, recording the discrepancies between the image they presented, the men they revealed themselves to be, and the words in which they couched their desires. Amber Hawk Swanson commissioned a life-size sex doll in her own image and has spent the past seven years making performance work with her self-portrait surrogate as collaborator. Both Fader and Hawk Swanson explore the muddled power dynamics of desire, creating records of their daily attempts to find themselves reflected by another. Oli Rodriguez re-imagined his childhood by enrolling himself — at age 26 — in baseball camps for adolescent boys. Passing for a boy, Rodriguez became part of the team while his collaborator (in the role of his sister) filmed him as he was taught to play like a man by his coaches. Aiden Simon returned to an Arcadia of his youth — a local pool called Twin Lakes where he spent much of his girlhood. Now abandoned and overgrown, Twin Lakes becomes the scene where he makes lush images of a boyhood he never had, recasting his partner as (now) schoolboy playmate.
The artists in The Participants live out their desires as their art in order to gamble with who they are. They offer images of possibilities for remaking the past and inhabiting the future. They neither mock nor critique. Instead, they embrace, they risk, and they engage.
