Take a first look at 'You Are Here Too' curated by Kink, with an evening of celebration and live performance.
'You Are Here Too' presents a collection of works by contemporary Australian artists exploring queer desire and sexuality. It serves as both a celebration and a response to the groundbreaking 1992 show 'You Are Here' at the Institute of Modern Art, which made history as Australia’s first exhibition featuring exclusively gay artists during the height of the AIDS crisis.
Thirty-three years later, this contemporary reflection examines the evolution of LGBTQI+ expression in Australia, showcasing new and existing works that present queer desire as ‘amorphous, fluid, temporal, retreating, explicit, abstracted and political.’ Featured artists include Holly Bates, Nick Breedon, Alexis Kanatsios, Gian Manik, and Yangamini, with performances by Leen Rieth, Crystal Love, and others.
The show has been curated by Kink, adjunct curators at the Institute of Modern Art. It emphasises First Nations and trans experiences as central to the exhibition, noting that they can’t be contained by the same narratives that dominated queer history and culture in previous generations. The exhibition is complemented by a film and video program.
'You Are Here Too' comprises quarter two of the IMA's fiftieth year anniversary artistic program.
Artwork: Holly Bates 'House of Whoreship' 2022.
