Beschreibung
Queer Formalism: The Return expands upon William J. Simmon's original, influental essay "Notes on Queer Formalism" from 2013, offering a novel ways of thinking about queer-feminist art outside of the critical-complicit and abstract-representational binaries that continue to haunt contemporary queer art. It therefore proposes an new kind of queer art writing, one that skirts the limits imposed by normative histories of art, film, music, and culture more broadly. Artists addressed in "Queer Formalism: The Return" include Sally Mann, David Lynch, Lars von Trier, Math Bass, Lorna Simpson, Laurie Simmons, Alex Prager, Lana Del Rey, Jessica Lange, and Louis Lawler, among others.
