Una ventana hacia la nueva exhibición del art wall in BAMPFA – Noviembre de 2019

November 20, 2019–June 21, 2020

The latest commission for the BAMPFA Art Wall, Edie Fake’s Affordable Housing for Trans Elders is an open invitation for visitors to consider the exciting complexities of queer space. Presented as a building façade, Fake’s mural visualizes a structure full of surprises. Window frames veer off in new directions and dead-end or interlock with others; decorative strips add vibrant accents in seemingly ad hoc ways; and doors are adorned with striking patterns that capture one’s gaze even as they remain closed. Drawing on the idiosyncratic character of vernacular and repurposed buildings, Fake employs architecture as an imaginative site for celebrating the uniqueness of transgender bodies and the lives of non–gender-conforming people.
