Come Out & Play exhibition to support the work of Albert Kennedy Trust (akt)
The exhibition at BEERS London celebrates internationally-based queer artists who prioritise a bold approach and work that is celebratory, challenging, and progressive.
Curated by artist Andrew Salagdo, the LGBTQ+ themed exhibition Come Out & Play will celebrate internationally-based queer artists who prioritise a bold approach and work that is celebratory, challenging, and progressive. The exhibition will support the work of LGBTQ+ homelessness charity Albert Kennedy Trust (akt); Russell Tovey, patron of the charity, has authored the exhibition text.
The artists – Adam Baker • Paul Booth • Katherine Bradford • J. Carino Giorgio Celin • Wenjie Ding • KEEYA • Kris Knight • Navot Miller • Andrew Moncrief • Gori Mora • Emily Oliveira • Ally Rosenberg • Andrew Salgado • Logan T. Sibrel • Krzysztof Strzelecki • Brea Weinreb • Caleb Yono – present queerness as manifest through colour and play, a subject matter free from taboo or shame, and a greater practice that responds to the contemporary ideology of what it means to be a queer artist in society.
Included works are primarily in – but not limited to – the form of figurative painting. The exhibition presents lesser-known LGBTQ+ artists alongside mid-career or more established artists at work today.
Come Out & Play at BEERS London, 51 Little Britain, London EC1A 7BH from June 19 – July 16.
