Power Exchange Rate (PER) examines how one’s bodily intimacies and understanding are shaped, regulated, and contested within the structures of capital and power. Through a feminist and queer lens, the exhibition, curated by gallery director Susan Snipes, “traces [the ways in which] personal experiences—relationships, gender, pleasure, and the body—are pulled into broader…[systems of power and knowledge… through their work, the artists illustrate] how systems of control shape, regulate, and commodify personal experience.” Artists include AnneMarie, Emily Fontana, Lauren Poretsky, S. Brown, and Violet Maimbourg. Read more from Lyz Bly, PhD here.
