Join Mutant Salon and the LACE team for a very special celebration–the launch of the CAVERNOUS: Young Joon Kwak and Mutant Salon exhibition catalog! This book is full of beautiful installation shots, essays, quotes, a mutant conversation and other gems.
CAVERNOUS (publication) is a living queer archive led by artist Young Joon Kwak and Mutant Salon, a collective of queer-trans-femme-POC artists. CAVERNOUS shares the members’ stories navigating arts institutions as marginalized artists alongside tales of gender affirmation and more. In doing so, this project documents the fullness of queer lived experiences through the imaginative fractures in white heteropatriarchal hegemony, with all its alternative bodies and performances of existence and desire. CAVERNOUS is an ongoing critical deconstruction of how we view our bodies, and reimagines alternative forms of existence and desire through sculpture, installation, performance, wigs and more
Installation by TravisD and Dalton Chase Goulette at Heavy Manners Library for CAVERNOUS Book Launch.
