New YorkAugust 10, 2022 • View in browserLuke Gilford’s Tender Photographs of Gay RodeosThe Los Angeles-based photographer offers an updated version of the mythologized American cowboy, calling rodeos “the traditional drag of America.” | Elaine Velie “I think there is something inherently camp about Western culture that I think pop music loves to play with, but I find that it often is very hollow,” Gilford said. “This is a way of life that exists beyond image or beyond the frame. That’s what I’m trying to touch on here: There’s real truth here and these are real lives, these are real people out there in rural America living as queer cowboys and ranching. These are brutal landscapes and brutal places sometimes.” LOOKING AHEAD Mary Sibande, “The Domba Dance” (2019) (image courtesy the Museum of Arts and Design) Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art A contemporary survey of avant-garde costuming details its continued political relevance. Designs by 35 living artists show how the art form challenges normative conceptions of race, class, and gender all over the world. Portia Munson: Bound Angel Bound Angel is a delightful smorgasbord of high-femme ephemera. Installations, sculptures, and drawings explore the artist’s preoccupation with kink, introversion, nihilism, and romance. Azikiwe Mohammed: Forever Is Twice As Long From The Ground For Azikiwe Mohammed, the last two years have proven the limits of working for change from within the system. In his immersive new exhibition, the mixed-media artist carves out space for people of color to exist autonomously. ARTIST SPOTLIGHTS Suzanne Lacy Continues the ConversationLacy’s work is more about making connections than providing content and it is still realized in the act of bringing people together, physically. | Nancy Princenthal Norman Bluhm’s Second ActIt is time that the art world recognize what Bluhm went on to do during the last three decades of his life, when he was deep into his own territory. | John Yau The Quietly Gripping Art of Peter HujarFour captivating examples of the artist’s photographs, taken between 1973 and 1984, will be auctioned in August as part of Swann’s fourth annual LGBTQ+ Art, Material Culture, and History sale. | Jasmine Liu Support Hyperallergic's independent journalismBecome a member today to help keep our reporting and criticism free and accessible to all.
