Queer X design : 50 years of signs, symbols, banners, logos, and graphic art of LGBTQ / by Campbell, Andy,1982-author.;
Introduction -- Pre-Liberation -- 1970s -- 1980s -- 1990s -- 21st Century.The first-ever illustrated history of the iconic designs, symbols, and graphic art representing more than 5 decades of LGBTQ pride and activism--from the evolution of Gilbert Baker's rainbow flag to the NYC Pride typeface launched in 2017, and beyond. Organized by decade beginning with Pre-Liberation and then spanning the 1970s through the new millennium, QUEER X DESIGN will be an empowering, uplifting, and colorful celebration of the hundreds of graphics--from shapes and symbols to flags and iconic posters--that have stood for the powerful and ever-evolving LGBTQ movement over the last five-plus decades. 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.

Subject to display : reframing race in contemporary installation art / by González, Jennifer A.(CARDINAL)275351;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 251-277) and index.Introduction : subject to display -- James Luna : artifacts and fictions -- Fred Wilson : material museology -- Amalia Mesa-Bains : divine allegories -- Pepón Osorio : no limits -- Renée Green : genealogies of contact.Over the past two decades, artists James Luna, Fred Wilson, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Pepon Osorio, and Renée Green have had a profound impact on the meaning and practice of installation art in the United States. In Subject to Display, Jennifer Gonzalez offers the first sustained analysis of their contribution, linking the history and legacy of race discourse to innovations in contemporary art. Race, writes Gonzalez, is a social discourse that has a visual history. The collection and display of bodies, images, and artifacts in museums and elsewhere is a primary means by which a nation tells the story of its past and locates the cultures of its citizens in the present. All of the five American installation artists Gonzalez considers have explored the practice of putting human subjects and their cultures on display by staging elaborate dioramas or site-specific interventions in galleries and museums; in doing so, they have created powerful social commentary of the politics of space or power of display in settings that mimic the very spaces that they critique. These artists' installations have not only contributed to the transformation of contemporary art and museum culture, they have also linked Latino, African American, and Native American subjects to the broader spectrum of historical colonialism, race dominance, and visual culture. From Luna's museum installation of his own body and belongings as "artifacts" and Wilson's provocative juxtapositions of museum objects to Mesa-Bains's allegorical home altars, Osorio's condensed spaces (bedrooms, living rooms; barbershops, prison cells) and Green's genealogies of cultural contact, the theoretical and critical endeavors of these artists demonstrate how race discourse is grounded in a visual technology of display.

Queer abstraction / by Ledesma, Jared,1982-author,curator.(CARDINAL)898089; Getsy, David,contributor.(CARDINAL)302843; Fleming, Jeff,writer of foreword.; Des Moines Art Center,publisher,organizer,host institution.(CARDINAL)137215; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art,host institution.(CARDINAL)565021;
Includes bibliographical references.Queer Abstraction will be the first exhibition in the Des Moines Art Center's 70-year history to focus exclusively on queer subject matter. It marks a substantial shift in the Art Center's programming by purposely including queer voices that have been left out of art history. Assistant Curator Jared Ledesma is organizing the exhibition. For more than a century, many Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer artists have turned to the language of abstraction to illustrate diverse facets of sexuality and gender. In response to specific struggles - such as the criminalization of homosexuality, the Civil Rights Movement, and the AIDS crisis - queer artists have embraced abstraction to communicate their unauthorized desires and identities through an accepted mode of art. Marsden Hartley's modernist portrait of his fallen lover, Louise Fishman's queer feminist canvases, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres's tender, conceptual works are but a few examples. Currently, abstract art that embodies this mode of expression has gained the moniker "Queer Abstraction," and has become a growing aesthetic force during the present, unsettling era. Queer Abstraction unites contemporary artists who utilize the amorphous possibilities of abstraction to convey what it means to exist on the margins.--Museum website
