Rather than focusing exclusively on artists who self-identify as gay or lesbian, Art & Queer Culture instead traces the shifting possibilities and constraints of sexual identity that have provided visual artists with a rich creative resource over the last 130 years - and it does so in an accessible, authoritative voice, and with a wealth of rarely-seen imagery.

A time of one's own : histories of feminism in contemporary art / by Grant, Catherine(Catherine Mary),author.; Duke University Press,publisher.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Covering artworks from 2002 to 2017, A Time of One's Own maps a revival of feminism in contemporary art that takes up the creative and political implications of disrupted temporalities to activate "a time of one's own." Catherine Grant shifts Virginia Woolf's spatial metaphor of a "room of one's own" into a temporal register in order to bring together different historical moments of feminist thinking. In doing so, Grant positions reenactments of past feminist projects not just as an art practice, but as a model for a queered feminist art history in which discussions of queer temporalities, feminist histories, and definitions of "the contemporary" and "contemporary art" are refined and politicized. Joining political theorizing and creative imagining from Bertolt Brecht, Walter Benjamin, and Virginia Woolf with theories of queer temporalities, feminist time and 'the contemporary' in art, this book narrates an intentionally incomplete feminist art history that joins real and imagined feminist communities across time and place"--

Queer threads : crafting identity and community / by Chaich, John,author.; Oldham, Todd,author.; Ammo,publisher.; Leslie/Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art,host institution.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Queer Threads: Crafting Identity and Community showcases twenty-nine artists who are moving through the narrow space that is gay or straight, biological or social, craft and fine art and doing so explicitly through their work in fiber and textile. Loaded with gender connotations and power hierarchies, fiber-based handicrafts such as crochet, embroidery, knitting, macrame, quilting, and sewing provide a fitting platform for examining tastes, roles, and relationships socialized within and around gay and lesbian culture, as well as our reactions to the traditional home and cultures in which we were raised. This book evolves from an exhibition of the same name, that John Chaich curated in 2014 at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay & Lesbian Art in New York City, the first dedicated LGBTQ art museum in the world with a mission to exhibit and preserve LGBTQ art and foster the artists who create it. While other recent, high-profile fiber and textile exhibitions have featured several of the artists in Queer Threads, the Leslie-Lohman exhibition marked the first time these works were shown together to specifically examine the works queerness. To further examine how queerness informs each featured artist's work in fiber and textiles, or vice versa, this book features interviewers from the worlds of music, fashion, media, dance, museums, and scholarship who are makers and thinkers themselves, many members of the queer community if not powerful allies. The resulting dialogues are as fun, challenging, personal, and universal as the ideas in the works discussed.

Gay life and culture : a world history / by Aldrich, Robert,1954-(CARDINAL)733514;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 364-377) and index."In the years since Stonewall, the world has witnessed an outpouring of research, critical inquiry, and re-interpretation of gay life and culture. This book draws on groundbreaking new material to present a comprehensive survey of all things gay, stretching back to ancient Sumeria and ranging to the present day. Critically acclaimed historian Robert Aldrich and ten leading scholars juxtapose thought-provoking essays with an extensive selection of images, many never before seen. This masterful combination reveals the story behind gay culture from the industrialized world to the remotest corners of tribal New Guinea. Among the contributors are noted names in GLBT studies such as Brett Beemyn (author of Bisexuality in the Lives of Men), Charles Hupperts (expert on classical antiquity at the University of Amsterdam), Helmut Puff (University of Michigan expert on the medieval world), and Florence Temagne (author of A History of Homosexuality in Europe). The book covers such topics as the Old Testament relationship between Jonathan and David, the Age of Confucius, Native American berdaches, Polynesian mahus, Berlin in the '20s, Stonewall and the disco-flavored hedonism that followed, and the advent of AIDS, Act Up, and Angels in America. This book is an important contribution to understanding what makes gay life and culture universal throughout human culture and across time." http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0624/2006903208-d.html.

The UmuEze Amara Clan and the House of Obafemi / by Odutola, Toyin,1985-artist,author,interviewee.(CARDINAL)856394; Bellorado-Samuels, Joeonna,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)678318; Hockley, Rujeko,contributor.(CARDINAL)852990; Lang, Melinda,contributor.(CARDINAL)856393; Lockner, Logan,contributor.(CARDINAL)858306; Musser, Amber Jamilla,contributor.(CARDINAL)855503; Raiford, Leigh,contributor.(CARDINAL)280653; Smith, Zadie,contributor.(CARDINAL)351675; Yerebakan, Osman Can,interviewer.(CARDINAL)858308; Rizzoli International Publications.Electa,publisher.(CARDINAL)853915;
Includes bibliographical references (page 247).This extraordinary illustrated story--Toyin Ojih Odutola's best-known body of work--chronicles the private lives of two fictional aristocratic Nigerian families, the UmuEze Amara Clan and the House of Obafemi, if colonialist and slave-trade interventions had never disrupted the country. Rendered life-size in charcoal, pastel, and pencil, Ojih Odutola's figures appear enigmatic and mysterious, set against the artist's larger conceived narrative, highlighting the malleability of identity and assumptions about race, wealth, and class. The UmuEze Amara Clan and the House of Obafemi presents the story of these families in four chapters illustrated and authored by Ojih Odutola, accompanied by the artist's sketches and notes. Also included are several insightful essays on the artist herself by noted writers and critics Zadie Smith, Leigh Raiford, and others. An introduction to the artist's vivid fictionalized world, as well as a reflection on the role of this body of work within her broader practice, this remarkable volume serves as the essential guide to Ojih Odutola's unique form of storytelling.

Included in the collection will be everything from Gilbert Baker's original rainbow flag, ACT-UP's Silence = Death poster, the AIDS quilt, and Keith Haring's "Heritage of Pride" logo, as well as the original Lavender Menace t-shirt design, logos such as "The Pleasure Chest", protest buttons such as "Anita Bryant Sucks Oranges", and so much more. Sidebars throughout will cover important visual groupings such as a "Lexicon of Pride Flags", explaining the now more than a dozen flags that represent segments of the community, and the evolution of the pink triangle.
