Not necessarily believers in assimilationist gay and lesbian politics, they insist on a difference from mainstream culture based on their sexuality. Their intent is to intervene in the heterosexual contract assumed to exist between artist and audience. The artists are Laura Aguilar, Judie Bamber, Robert Blanchon, Patricia Cronin, Nicole Eisenman, Martha Fleming and Lyne Lapointe, Lyle Ashton Harris, Rinaldo Hopf, Doug Ischar, Deborah Kass, Glenn Ligon, Catherine Opie, Paul Pfeiffer, Eugene Rodriguez, Connie Samaras, and Millie Wilson. This exhibition was funded by the Norton Family Foundation. UCI Arts Gallery hours are 12 noon to 5 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.
Admission is free.
