Chaich agrees that Vincent’s life-sized crocheted lockers, benches, urinals and showers might invite intensely personal reflections for viewers, especially aorund themes of inclusion, attraction and repulsion. “The gendered nature of locker rooms can raise thought-provoking questions about safety, potential for violence and even eroticism,” says Chaich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Race, gender, sexuality and class all play a role in shaping one’s identity, and these factors are present throughout the exhibition, interwoven in intricate ways, challenging the viewer to think beyond simplistic labels.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>In a landscape marred by escalating violence and uncertainty for the LGBTQ community, the exhibition captures the spirit of the times, and themes of hope and healing alongside collective and individual trauma feel more resonant than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaich’s curation makes space for it all. Over the past few decades, he notes, there has been a remarkable expansion in our language surrounding queerness, enabling a broader range of self-expression and identification. “The celebration of queer culture, and embracing LGBTQIA identities, has fostered a sense of belonging and unity within our community and among our allies,” he says. “However, it is crucial to acknowledge the recent setbacks and challenges that persist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13929426\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13929426\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1020x1167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"732\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1020x1167.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-800x915.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-160x183.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-768x878.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1343x1536.jpg 1343w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1791x2048.jpg 1791w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1920x2196.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mikki Yamashiro, ‘Take Me to Your Leader,’ 2018.

Together, the poem and Brackens’ weaving embark on an exploration of the experiences of Black and brown men who have sex with men, delving into the profound impact of HIV/AIDS on their lives.

Chaich agrees that Vincent’s life-sized crocheted lockers, benches, urinals and showers might invite intensely personal reflections for viewers, especially aorund themes of inclusion, attraction and repulsion. “The gendered nature of locker rooms can raise thought-provoking questions about safety, potential for violence and even eroticism,” says Chaich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Race, gender, sexuality and class all play a role in shaping one’s identity, and these factors are present throughout the exhibition, interwoven in intricate ways, challenging the viewer to think beyond simplistic labels.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>In a landscape marred by escalating violence and uncertainty for the LGBTQ community, the exhibition captures the spirit of the times, and themes of hope and healing alongside collective and individual trauma feel more resonant than ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chaich’s curation makes space for it all. Over the past few decades, he notes, there has been a remarkable expansion in our language surrounding queerness, enabling a broader range of self-expression and identification. “The celebration of queer culture, and embracing LGBTQIA identities, has fostered a sense of belonging and unity within our community and among our allies,” he says. “However, it is crucial to acknowledge the recent setbacks and challenges that persist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13929426\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13929426\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1020x1167.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"732\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1020x1167.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-800x915.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-160x183.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-768x878.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1343x1536.jpg 1343w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1791x2048.jpg 1791w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/05/DSCF2324-Edit-2-1920x2196.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mikki Yamashiro, ‘Take Me to Your Leader,’ 2018.

Each of his pieces—a combination, in recent years, of ceramics and other materials—exists as a perfectly considered balance of glossy and textured, organic and rigid, sensuous and silly. Parts of Nagle’s sculptures “look like” a number of things, but nothing so much as alien objects shaped by a wonderfully strange and pun-obsessed mind (please see his titles).
