Hales is excited to announce the inclusion of Sunil Gupta in WINK WINK at The Whitaker Museum and Art Gallery, through 23rd July 2023.
WINK WINK playfully hosts a space to navigate these thoughts and experience other lives we may not see or be in allyship with regularly. Sculpture, drawing, mixed media, textile and film are installed through The Whitaker engaging us with work that represents and abstracts identity.
The exhibition is inspired by an article titled 'Appearing Differently; Abstraction, Transgressions and Capacities' an article by critics David Getsy and William J Simmons. In this, they explored the idea of 'worlding differently', in the context of queer lived experience and art making. Queerness can allow us to harness a myriad of experiences - familiar or unfamiliar to us. It refuses a binary definition in favour of embracing nuance subversion and expression in a variety of forms.
