References for Strategies for Queer Being and Utopian Art Making in our Dystopic Present

Texts Referenced:

Cruising Utopia; the Then and There of Queer Futurity, José Esteban Muñoz – This book laid the foundation for how I think about utopian queerness and supplied many of the artist examples and other sources.

The Glitch Moment(um), Rosa Menkman – a fascinating look at glitch both as a technical art medium and as a larger philosophic concept.

Appearing Differently: Abstraction’s Transgender and Queer Capacities, David Getsy – A great exploration of abstraction as a tool for resisting evidentiary, representational art demands.

Psycho-Girl, Sondra Fink – This is a feminist blog with thoughtful explorations of art and culture.
