An experimental retrospective for WUSSY magazine is coming to the Bureau! The exhibition features cover images from WUSSY magazine since their inception in 2014. The show leans into larger themes of queer networking into the 2020’s. WUSSY ’s significant online presence demonstrates the importance of non-NYC and non-LA queer community building, resource sharing, and importantly catharsis in increasingly precarious times especially for inter-queer community discourses. Included also is work from various LGBTQIA+ archives, comics, ephemera, recent work from the Venice Biennale.
Wussies Networking: Some Queer Sensibilities is curated by Bureau volunteer Tannon Reckling.
The exhibition will be on view at the Bureau from
November 30, 2023 – February 18, 2024
Exhibition announcement artwork is a generous experimental remix of the theme “queer networking” by Eric Kostiuk Williams.
