Queer Exhibiton Histories

Case studies at the intersection of art history and queer politics-from landmark exhibitions both institutional and underground to museum policies and art activismThis anthology gathers case studies from the history of queer art exhibitions and their modes of documentation and archiving. The legacy of these projects often depends on personal archives, and consequently "public" is a relative term for events that were either short-lived, held in domestic spaces or only for those in the know. At the intersection of queerness and contemporary art, this volume considers how the efforts of LGBTQ artists have advanced their public presence in museums and society alike.
