Portland Photo Show Opening, First Thursday, November 5th, 2009 from 6pm – 9pm
Fontanelle Gallery – 205 SW Pine Street Portland OR 97204
Fontanelle Gallery is pleased to present Queer Gaze, a group photography exhibition featuring images of queer people by queer photographers. This show offers a new examination and response to theories of “male gaze”, as originally described by Laura Mulvey as the cinematic depiction of voyeurism and objectification of a female by a heterosexual male viewer. Queer Gaze explores the gaze from woman to woman or queer to queer, as well as the way that many photographers use their own visage or that of their friends to subvert traditional expectations of portraiture.
Exhibiting artists include Sarah Baley (Brooklyn), Erica Beckman (Brooklyn), Tammy Rae Carland (Oakland), Zackary Drucker (LA) & A.L. Steiner (Brooklyn), Luke Gilford (LA), Grit Hachmeister (Berlin), Megan Holmes (PDX), Angela Jimenez (Brooklyn), Molly Landreth (Seattle), Amos Mac (San Francisco), Finn Paul (PDX), Emily Roysdon (NYC/Stockholm), Lorenzo Triburgo (PDX), and Azsa West (PDX).
Queer Gaze will be on view at Fontanelle Gallery through November 28, 2009 during open hours, Wednesday through Saturday, noon to six pm.
BIG GAY PARTY: Thurs., November 19th, 2009 at 8pm, Play/Start will perform along with other artists TBA.
