Imagine alternatives to contemporary trans hypervisibility through an exhibition curated by Dallas Fellini
Indiscernible thresholds, escaped veillances explores opacity, illegibility, and invisibility as productive alternatives to contemporary trans hypervisibility, a circumstance wherein the realm of the representational risks becoming all that is offered to trans people. Featuring works by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Lucas LaRochelle, Joshua Schwebel, Chelsea Thompto, and Lan “Florence” Yee, this exhibition tests the potentials of opacity to subvert the extractive dimensions of knowing the other. Rather than approaching visibility as an issue to be resolved, these artists consider the potentials of retreating from view, framing opacity as a protective act and archival illegibility as an escape.
This exhibition is presented by the Art Museum and is produced as part of the requirements for the Master of Visual Studies degree in Curatorial Studies at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design, University of Toronto.
