Through July 20, 2025
At a time when the rights of members of the queer community are under threat (the American Civil Liberties Union tracked 533 anti-LGBTQ bills in the US in 2024, for example), the Tang will present a two-floor exhibition featuring work by queer artists spanning the last century that assert their lives and stories upon the world. a field of bloom and hum brings together extensive series created over multiple decades by artists such as Steven Arnold, Dyke Action Machine!, and Robert Giard, with seminal works by David Armstrong, Joe Brainard, Tony Feher, Oliver Herring, Jim Hodges, George Platt Lynes, Catherine Opie, Mickalene Thomas, and many others. They will be presented alongside new commissions—including works made in collaboration with students—and an art and activism resource room for gatherings, workshops, dissemination, and study.
