FOUND: Queer Archaeology; Queer Abstractions (Art Exhibit)

Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art

The Leslie Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art explores concepts of identity and queer archaeology through contemporary abstraction.
"To be queer is to be an archaeologist. In order to find traces of ourselves in a world that prefers we be hidden, we excavate, sifting through our cultural landscape for ancestral signs, oftentimes as a matter of survival. FOUND is a survey of artists who treat queer identity like an archaeological dig, and in their quest for evidence of a queer footprint, they snap twigs along the trail, mapping their way in the process."
– Avram Finkelstein, Curator
