The Queer Show, Part II

Hal Bromm Gallery is pleased to present The Queer Show, Part II, a continuation of the gallery’s exhibition series exploring how artists have contributed to modern notions of queer identity. In the exhibition, queer artists subvert the tools of cultural erasure, twisting them into potent acts of reclamation and challenging society’s constructed notions of identity. The exhibition will be on view from May 22 through July 25.

The Queer Show, Part II extends Part I’s (2024) exploration of queer history starting in the 1970s into the present moment, foregrounding recent works, as well as historic works that demand reexamination in today’s social climate, that speak to the nature of queerness in the 2020s across a wide array of media, from painting and sculpture to photography and textiles. Work will be on view by Rajab Ali Sayed, Juan Arango Palacios, Nayland Blake, Chris Cortez, Abbey Gilbert, Nan Goldin, Jay Lynn Gomez, Glenn Ligon, Jean-Paul Mallozzi, Eric Rhein, Moises Salazar Tlatenchi, Richard Taddei (courtesy of Greg Salvatori Gallery), Koco Toribio, and David Wojnarowicz. 

In addition to the public opening on May 22, the gallery will host a community-focused party during Pride Month in June, reinforcing its enduring commitment to the visibility and celebration of diverse queer perspectives within the contemporary art landscape. Details will be announced in the coming weeks.
