“I like to think of a lot of the characters as gender indifferent or asserting an extreme position on gender. Or they’re treating gender as an inventive space, as something that is fluid and that you do not need to be consistent in. That it’s just a construct, and it’s as fluid and lubricating as language itself.” —Ryan Trecartin
For our ongoing Pride Month programming, this video from the Louisiana Channel features Ryan Trecartin discussing the power of gender fluidity and how it plays a large role in his casting of characters for his sculptural and installation work.
