Summary:
Curated by Phil Zheng Cai and Douglas Ray at Eli Klein Gallery, "(In)directions: Queerness in Chinese Contemporary Photography" brings together works by a dynamic group of 21 artists who see queerness as a possibility, embracing the imaginative even when the status quo might otherwise be limiting. The title acknowledges that the means through which each artist expresses or approaches this queer possibility takes a variety of modes in the photographic medium, at times boldly and directly celebrating the beauty of queer bodies and other times obliquely gesturing, winking, or suggesting that another reality is at play. This range of photographic expressions of queerness is similar to common understandings of discursive approaches in Chinese culture, from the artfully indirect to the abundantly explicit.
