Historically associated with Modernist movements strategies of bodily fragmentation (slicing the body into parts isolating appendages and distorting one’s self-image) are reconsidered by queer contemporary artists as a means of exploring their own perceptions of self outside of the cis-heteronormative gaze. Rejecting societal notions of fixedness and individuation fragmentation in this exhibition serves not as a method of deconstruction but as an additive process in which queer selfhood is malleable ever-changing tactile and connected. The artists in this show forge a queer aesthetic proposing a world in which the body-in-pieces is in fact the body-as-whole.
