Melted Riot: RGB TRIO research process
Added 2021-07-23 17:01:02 +0000 UTCRehearsal footage of Gender Tender company members Will Courtney, Gabrielle Civil and Minna Lee engage in my performance research meditating on artworks in the Henry Art Gallery’s online photography and print collection. First in a trio, RGB performance happened online Saturday September 12, 2020. A practice in identity empathy and in imagery, this practice continues my research into transitional space and trans + queer histories. I continue to reflect on the unseen queer and transgender histories all around us...anonymous people in photographs, the imagined possibilities histories and transitional spaces I see in photos, artworks and other people.
About the project:
Fox Whitney’s ongoing interdisciplinary performance and research project, MELTED RIOT, moves from its latest iteration, Chromatic, presented at On the Boards, into the online photography and print collection of the Henry Art Gallery. Interacting with the Henry’s collection in private and public ways, Fox and his Gender Tender collaborators will approach this research with the intent of unearthing and/or highlighting the queer and transitional qualities they discover as they zoom in and out of the artwork, and the queer and transitional qualities in their bodies, minds, and spirits
