casting off: eyes on the horizon

About Me

we're proud to bring you with this exhibition confirmation that new vistas of gender expression are being sought and found, created and documented, manifested and lived in deeply inspiring ways by artists around the world. we wish to extend our gratitude to the artists who have made this show possible through their pursuit of discovery, exploration, the visualization of genderqueerness in its endless permutations and their commitment to celebrating queer lives and experience. through curating this exhibition and the related film screening we've found endless inspiration for the continuation of our own work, and we hope you find some of the same.
we love you.http://zeladay.blogspot.com [email protected] **** http://vanityfirephotography.blogspot.com [email protected]:: and beyond!! We will continue to live authentic lives of decadence and love and pull our art out of the ethers and into the present. We will continue to co-create, co-curate and push eachother forward into tomorrow. XXX

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

we push off from shore, intrepid explorers, eyes on the horizon. we are lured by the promise of adventure and dream of a triumphant return, forever changed by our discoveries. yet we know our courage may be tested, and there may be times we find ourselves alone.but X marks the spot in austin TEXAS, october 2006, ya'll! set your sights on community and celebrate by pushing away from complacency and stagnancy. it's time to become pioneers and trailblazers, and cast off!!we are looking for artists whose work envisions (and manifests!) new expressions of gender, identity and self. we will cast a wide net with this show and welcome all varieties of work, provided it actively engages in envisioning new vistas of gender exploration. explore away, and let us in on what you find.
