Hide/Seek Ending Feb 13

Last weekend we descended upon DC to participate in a tour of Hide/Seek given by one of the co-curators Dr. Jonathan Katz. For those of you who are unaware of this exhibit (and I am surprised how many gays and lesbians don’t know about the show) this is the first major exhibit of LGBT art in a major American museum. The experience was eye opening. Dr. Katz was able to deconstruct and explain many hidden cues in a wide range of work. This show is running through February 13th but if you are unable to make it to DC before then the shows catalog is outstanding and well worth the 20 something bucks that it sells for from Amazon.
