would really like to see this..dont think i will so will get the catalogue: http://www.thepowerplant.org/Exhibitions/2011/2011_Winter/Coming-After.aspx
'coming after' at the powerplant toronto.
Featuring artists from New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Toronto, and beyond, Coming After is a response to the recent renewal of interest in the period from the mid-1980s to early 1990s that was decisive for North American cultural politics. This time period witnessed the Culture Wars, the birth of “queer” as an identity and theory, and the rise of a direct-action AIDS activist movement — epitomized by ACT UP — fighting a new plague that was devastating communities of artists, queers and people of colour. While these years were highly traumatic, they also represented a galvanizing, dynamic moment for queer citizenship — one that is arguably haunting our present and our future.
Also I'm planning a trip to new york to see the cindy sherman retrospective at moma. I've really knuckled down to cut costs to make this possible..im moving from a to $700 p/m room to a $370 place! really tempted to buy zarina bhimjis print on whitechapel website though..
