The Kitchen, New York, New York, USA
Curated through the Whitney Independent Study Program
May 24- June 15, 2019
In 2019, against a backdrop of cultural institutions that are ever more eager to represent certain types of “fugitive” bodies, Always, Already, Haunting, “disss-co,” Haunt proposes haunting as a representational illogic, an embodied and affective practice that rejects the production of convenient or easily read narratives. Haunting aims to redress the historical violences, absences, and omissions laden in the trappings of institutional “diversity.” Instead, this exhibition foregrounds the social worlds that surround and orbit art institutions—the club, the park, the cruising space, the archive, and the cemetery—lingering on the desires, pleasures, and mournings entangled within them.
Collaborating with dancer Mariana Valencia and DJ Jazmin Romero, Guadalupe Rosales created her first performance activation for the opening of Always, Already, Haunting, “disss-co,” Haunt at The Kitchen in New York.
The exhibition features works by Julie Dash, Minnie Evans, Félix González Torres, Green-Wood Cemetery, shawné michaelain holloway, Nina Howell Starr, Asif Mian, Guadalupe Rosales, Mariana Valencia, Julie Tolentino, The Whitney Archives, and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar.
