Our main galleries are closed until September 16th for de-installation, but the lobby of the Leslie-Lohman is still open for visitors and is currently presenting Schreber is a Woman, a video installation by the Spanish artist collective @vuelanpalomas (@mariokissme and R. Marcos Mota). Schreber is a Woman is a meditation on queer and trans history through the figure of Daniel Paul Schreber (1842–1911), a German judge committed to a psychiatric institution in 1894. While in confinement, Schreber experienced visions and heard voices as he reflected on cosmology, sexuality, religion, and a consuming desire for gender transformation, believing it to be divinely orchestrated. Through performance, set construction, and an electronic, dance-inflected soundtrack, El Palomar presents a contemporary envisioning of Schreber’s rich inner world from a transfeminist perspective that recuperates, for our present moment, the historic struggles for bodily autonomy, self-determination, and joy. This clip is from the making of Schreber is a Woman, which you can continue to watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZprE1MjJwys Our main galleries will re-open the evening on September 15th for the opening of INDECENCIA. We’ll post more about that exhibition as we get closer to the opening date. Image Description: Two figures from Schreber is a Woman rotate slowly in front of the camera, sequentially. Both are illuminated by alternating red and blue lighting.
