“John (1995)” acquired by the Leslie Lohman Museum. A new acquisitions exhibition opens at the Museum on March 15, 2024.
I am a Thousand Different People—Everyone is Real is an exhibition featuring newly acquired works for the LLM collection. Taking its title from a drawing by artist and queer icon Candy Darling, this exhibition brings together a selection of works recently acquired by the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art. Darling’s words evoke the multi-dimensionality of queer and trans life and artistic practices that insist on defining art and life entirely on one’s own terms. Taken together, the exhibited works—across various media and representational styles—embrace a spectral, prismatic approach to rendering LGBTQIA+ existence. Both contemporary and historical, the works elide the demand for authenticity and easy legibility, instead holding space for plurality, reinvention, and fantasy.
