LOCATING INTIMACY: THE SPACE BETWEEN
Curated by
Marisa S. Olson & Frank Yamrus
This show explores the space(s) of desire, engaging viewers in contemplation of spectatorship, exhibitionism, and fantasy. The work included lies on a continuum from empty to occupied spaces, ranging from empty "fantasy rooms" to abandoned sites of sexual encounter, from recontextualized pornographic stills to dislocating corporeal projections. Revealed in the work is the topography of sexual desire and the explicit construction of intimate zones. Intimacy, itself, is revealed to be a diverse construction, sometimes unearthed by the camera, while at other times created by it. In every case, intimacy is represented as a spatialized relationship between two or more subjects, be they on or off, in front of or "behind" the camera.
