On Sunday, Nov. 27th at 5:30pm (ET), the Bureau hosts members of the Queer Critique Group (QCG) at Baxter St. for a presentation and panel discussion of their new publication, WILDNESS. WILDNESS features work by Chris Berntsen, Ali Di Luccia, Liz Liguori, Michael McFadden, Ellie Musgrave, Marc Ohrem-Leclef, Dr. Picturesque, Kaz Senju, Jeanette Spicer, Bill Travis and Sam Zalutsky, as well as writing by renowned photographers, artists and curators Allen Frame, Katherine Hubbard, Duane Michals, Nandita Raman and Drew Sawyer. WILDNESS is inspired by Jack Halberstam’s book Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire. In keeping with the spirit of the text, the contributors were encouraged to interpret wildness in their own creative ways. Join us for a panel discussion with contributing artists Kaz Senju, Bill Travis, and Michael McFadden.

The QUEER CRITIQUE GROUP at BAXTER ST:

Baxter St at CCNY launched a virtual, queer critique group in June of 2020. This group provides artists the opportunity to obtain critical feedback on lens-based work. It also provides ongoing support to a community of queer artists to learn, grow, and share resources.
