Horsemarket
9/23/24-10/3/24
Pratt Institute Stueben Gallery
Curated in collaboration with Muna Al Fadel
Horsemarket
was an interdisciplinary exploration of contemporary queer experiences
taking a look into intimate moments with oneself and the politicization
of queer people in 21st century America. As queerness is both
politically persecuted and monetized, Horsemarket explored the reactionary queerness of today's young artists. The artists featured in Horsemarket
are creating nuanced, diverse work that rejects the corporatized,
capitalized queerness projected on today’s youth and finds power in
their identities and communities. These artists reject the sanitized and
trivialized notions of queerness presented to those unfamiliar with the
community by embracing both restrained and vulgar visual languages.
Artists featured: Muna Al Fadel, Raven Chen, Cecilia Gossow, Abdullah Gramish, Henry Hitchcock, Francesca Kula, Fe Lugo, Ava Mills, Jordan Morales, Adyn Prentice, Marissa Rubio, Maria Semidey, Nick Silva, Alexa Toews, Antonio Vecchione, Eve Weiner, Alejandro Yullo
