Equinox announces its exhibition and benefit auction, 'Between you and I: The Disappearance of Binary,' a Pride Month celebration. The exhibit showcases work by LGBTQIA+ artists and is curated by artistic director Shai Baitel and supported by Christie's.
The exhibition aims to dive into the way queer artists address the breadth of identities and communities within the LGBTQIA+ experience, while showcasing ways the movement is united and divided at the same time. The exhibition aims to highlight the diversity and complexity of the queer experience while imagining a new and inclusive future for the LGBTQIA+ community.
The selected works include Marina Abramović Video Still from Imponderablilia, Works with Ulay Series, 1977; Isaac Julien I Dream a World (Looking for Langston Vintage Series), 1989/2017; Steven Klein, Bondage Warriors 33, New York, 2009, Pigment Inkjet Print.
