Queering the Collection
ICP, New York
2018-2019
Over a year the ICP Library collectively produced more than six in-house library installations and events considering representation in libraries at large. The success of this initiative resulted in an increase of the ICP Library’s holdings of queer, gender non-binary imagemakers, and artists of color.
Workshop: I hosted a show-and-tell workshop where ten artists and collectives presented work that ranged from a zine project that documents the death of nine men at a 1970s gay bathhouse to a journal that promotes critical engagement with contemporary art and politics.
Book Launch: the ICP Library collaborated with Be Oakley of GenderFail, along with Christopher Clary, Patricia Silva, and many other participating artists, curators, and bookmakers, to publish a book that documents the series. The launch at ICP was moderated by Paul Soulellis, founder of Library of the Printed Web, who also wrote the book’s introduction.
