QUEER/ART/BROOKLYN – the bi-monthly queer social program in the Queer/Art family – returns for some holiday season mingling! Join us in welcoming three Brooklyn-based artists to engage in conversation and libation. We’ll gather to discuss art across disciplines (film, literature, performance and visual arts)
JIBZ CAMERON is a performance/video artist and actor who lives and works in New York City. Her work as alter ego Dynasty Handbag has been seen such institutions as The New Museum NY, The Kitchen, MOMA, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and more as well as many international dives both great and small. She has been heralded by the New York Times as “the funniest and most pitch perfect performance seen in years”.
CLARA LOPEZ is an art worker, practicing in the curatorial field, art criticism, performance art and other writings. She holds a MA in Curatorial Studies from CCS Bard. Her thesis deals with current artistic practices, their active or passive resistance to the contemporary system of cultural production, and other dilemmas resulting from a will to political coherence. She has developed projects in Berlin (WIR SPIELEN (WE PLAY), nGbK, 2013), Detroit (Enduring Sometimes Warring, 2012), and her writing has appeared in GLU, Disruptive Laughter, Randy, and Mousse.
FREDERIC TCHENG is a French-born Brooklyn-based filmmaker. He’s worked on documentaries on Valentino and Diana Vreeland. While his solo-directorial debut “Dior and I” will be released in 2015, Frederic is currently writing a narrative film.
Feel free to stop by for a drink, and say hello, and to share this event with others you’d like to see!
