Taking Up Space presents the work of eight transgender artists working in a variety of media, including video, digital animation, painting, poetry, and 3D-printed sculpture. The exhibition’s international connections include artists based in Vancouver, B.C., Shanghai, Gateshead (UK), as well as Seattle. The title, provided by ‘Transgender Street Legend’ Left at London (Nat Puff), hints at the ways in which contemporary art by transgender artists opens new spaces for abstraction, both in terms of death and joy. Themes, often breaking down binary oppositions, vary from nature/nurture to phase transition and the trans experience through space and time.
