This is the first anthology to bring together artist’s writings and conversations about queer practice, describing and examining the ways in which they have used the concept of queer as a site of political and institutional critique, as a framework to develop new families and histories, as a spur to action and as a basis from which to declare inassimilable difference.
Publication to coincide with exhibition, 2011, where Owens commissioned performance scores—written or graphical instructions for actions— from a multigenerational group of African-American artists.
