She’s Not Herself At All

Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell, established Toronto artists who specialize in "putting radical feminist texts in productive conversation with contemporary queer theory" present a feminist future with this art show. Billed as a mash-up of stereotype and utopia, the exhibit of wallpaper, collage, drawings, photographs and textiles explores several writings imagining what new ways of being may present themselves in time. "The lesbian feminist body...comes wrapped in context, swaddled in knitwear, and it requires a lot of rest. By remaining horizontal and low to the ground, this body serves as a queer horizon, the warm light of potentiality breaking just beyond it," the artists' statement quotes writer Heather Love.
Explore the what-ifs Logue and Mitchell present in the ALG's Gallery 2 and also at a screening of their original films that further the show's themes, happening Aug 9 from 5:30-8 at next door's Art Bar + Projects.
