Stamatina Gregory and Ksenia M. Soboleva in Conversation with artist Chloe Chiasson (2022)
Video (47:40): Gallery conversation between queer feminist painter Chloe Chiasson (right), curator Stamatina Gregory (left), Leslie Lohman Museum of Art, and art historian and critic Ksenia M. Soboleva (center) on the occasion of Chiasson’s first solo exhibition in New York.
Chiasson’s debut exhibition, Fast Heart and Slow Towns, features six monumental groupings of queer figures in domestic and social settings. Often sourced from archival photographs of queer individuals, her figures highlight the adverse nature of being queer both in recent history and in the contemporary moment. Permeated by a coexisting sense of anxiety and comfort, Chiasson’s works are a testament to queer experience.
