This year\u2019s Creative Labor: Queer Artists Working Group exhibition, Precarious Lives<\/em>, opens its field of view beyond creating a site of visibility for queer art to include the work of non-queer identified artists whose work has been instrumental in building the social and aesthetic network within which we understand and experience cultural difference and our own queerness.<\/p>\n

Background: Precarious Lives<\/em> is the third and final installment of a trilogy of exhibitions titled, The Turning, Queerly<\/em> curated by Rudy Lemcke for Creative Labor. This project proposes a reframing of the idea of queer subjectivity as autonomous self-in-need-of-liberation to consider the self as self-with-others as the condition of possibility for modes of thinking about queerness in our technological age of networked connectivity (Self to #Selfie<\/em>, 2017); it explores the sometimes-violent socio-political frame into which our identities have been thrown (A History of Violence<\/em>, 2018); and considers the underlying conditions of human vulnerability as the site of care and futurity realized through the transformational labor of art (Precarious Lives<\/em>, 2019).<\/p>\n
