[-empyre-] July 2009: “Queer Relational”
Queer Relational with Micha Cardenas (US), Felipe Zuniga (MX/US), Emily Roysdon (US/SE), Marc Léger (CA), Virginia Solomon (US/CA), Tara Mateik (US), Amy Wiley (US), and Robert Summers (US) — moderated by Christina McPhee (US) [Subscribe]
How might queer theory and practices inflect/torture/distort or otherwise improve ‘relational aesthetics’? Is the relational aesthetics meme often complicit, if accidentally, with heteronormativity? How does queer practice and theory politically develop the space of the democratic ‘violence of
participation”? A paranoid concern launches our topic — may cliches of relationality mitiigate against excess, ephemera, and the variable and uncontrollable power of the engaged artist/writer? Asking what is a queer space of participation, the list itself enacts its own making for an intersubjective ‘queer’ text. A hypertext and linear edit of the conversation will be published in 2010 and presented in the Queer Caucus for Art panel at College Art Association, Chicago 2010.
