Indiscernible Thresholds, Escaped Veillances at Art Museum

Curated by Dallas Fellini at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto, Indiscernible thresholds, escaped veillances featured works by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Lucas LaRochelle, Joshua Schwebel, Chelsea Thompto, and Lan “Florence” Yee that explore the slippery and shrouded frameworks of illegibility, opacity, and invisibility. Through sculpture, photography, video, sound and performance, these artists challenge simplistic trans representation and trouble trans hypervisibility, turning toward the productive potentiality of opacity and archival illegibility. Taken together, their works explore invisibility as an act of self-protection and form of political agency for queer and trans individuals and connect the social and environmental demands for visibility.
