I am mining the New York Radical Faeries Collection and the Harry Hay Papers and the ONE Archives at USC to create a solo exhibition at the Adams Gallery at ONE next summer, as their current artist-in-residence.

The exhibition, tentatively titled, “Fairy Prince,” will explore the concept of “sanctuary,” a central tenet of the radical faeries. The exhibition space will become a temporary autonomous zone of sorts, a sanctuary, within which visitors can enter “faerie space” and explore some of the items and artwork on display.

Additionally, drawing on exhibits curated by artist-scholars, such as the Houseguest series at the Hammer Museum, and Sarah-Joy Ford’s exhibition “Looking for Lesbians,” created while in residence at the ONE Archives, I hope to activate my chosen archives at ONE by creating an original body of work that brings these treasures into conversation with a contemporary art audience.
