'Subtle Slights' is an audio-visual experience documenting a specific period of making in which I was exploring queer histories, theories, influences and different approaches to producing work. The artwork offers a cascade of imagery and words without any immediate discernible connection.
The short video displays an excerpt of 'Subtle Slights' as installed in '(Un)Defining Queer' at The Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester.
The '(Un)Defining Queer' show came to a close in early December 2023 after being open for almost a year. The exhibition delved into the Whitworth’s collection to examine how we can use a queer lens to define what the term 'queer' means. Presenting collection works that have never been on display before as well as loans, the exhibition included artists such as: Ajamu X, Niki de Saint Phalle, General Idea, David Hockney, Maggie Hambling, Pearl Alcock, Keith Vaughan, Matthew Bamber, Wolfgang Tillmans and Chester Tenneson.
