“Hunter Reynolds / Dean Sameshima: Promiscuous Rage” opens today at 392 Broadway.
This presentation marks the first exhibition of #HunterReynolds’s work since the artist’s passing in 2022, as well as the first display in New York of
@dean_sameshima’s iconic “Anonymous Portrait” series. Taken together, the paintings, photo-weavings, and interactive installation on view index an archive of underrecognized texts and figures foundational to both artists’ sense of self, and through their display highlight the synchronous feelings of loss and empowerment that accompany the open expression of twentieth-century gay culture. These two artists create an intergenerational pairing deeply concerned with the investigation and preservation of queer histories, their concomitant subcultures, and inherent gaps.
Join us tonight from 6-8pm for the opening reception of “Hunter Reynolds / Dean Sameshima: Promiscuous Rage,” on view at 392 Broadway, December 13, 2024 – January 25, 2025.
Following the opening, a daylong activation of #HunterReynolds’s “Dialogue Table 3” will take place Saturday, December 14, from 11am - 5pm. No RSVP is necessary. Please visit ppowgallery.com for more information on the speakers.
