WE CARRY EACH OTHER
22 January - 21 April 2013
YBCA presents the latest Room for Big Ideas project, We Carry Each Other, an installation featuring works of art by Eliza Barrios, Lynn Breedlove, Philip Huang & Theo Knox, and Christraper Sings. Using the mediums of sculpture, projection, movement, and sound, each of these artists explores the intimate complexities — including desire, perspective, and queerness — of individual and group identity. Each work of art offers an alternative narrative of a journey each of us takes, alone and together.
The founder of the donation-based LGBT ride service Homobiles, queer punk icon Lynn Breedlove, presents a multimedia recreation of the Homobiles experience, including a papier-mâché replica of a 1962 Cadillac and an audiovisual loop of a Homobiles ride. Threshold, by Eliza Barrios, will be projected on the RBI’s exterior windows. Each video sequence in the work offers the observer an optical exploration of the alternative self, subtly guiding them through the perceived uniqueness of transgressive identities. Philip Huang and Theo Knox present Golgotha, a wall installation of fluttering paper, which evokes a place that is at once restless and restful on the periphery of society. Christraper Sings’ Liebestod — Love/Death — Verklarung is a sound work that layers and synchronizes historical recordings of the climactic finale of Richard Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, allowing listeners to experience the sound of thousands of instrumentalists and nearly two dozen sopranos playing and singing together, unencumbered by space and time.
