QAR is proud to announce the launch of our Winter '99 Siteworks.

David Wojnarowicz: Authentic History

In conjunction with the retrospective at the New Museum of Contemporary
Art, New York, QAR presents an online exhibition of vanguard American
artist David Wojnarowicz. New Museum Senior Curator Dan Cameron notes:
"Wojnarowicz, who lived on the streets of New York from the age of
thirteen, drew from his experiences on the margins of society to create
a passionate world of hustlers and homeless, club kids and rednecks,
providing a voice for people who have been marginalized by mainstream
culture."

Deborah Bright: The Passionate Camera

Editor Deborah Bright curated this exhibition based on her exciting new
book in which fifty artists, scholars and critics document and celebrate
photography by and about sex-radical artists. The online exhibition
features work by Ajamu, Tammy Rae Carland, Darren P. Clark, Ken Gonzales
Day, Sunil Gupta, Rita Hammond, Lyle Ashton Harris with Thomas Allen
Harris, Andrew Kim, and Chuck Samuels.

Kimberly Austin: Learning Normalcy

At age 14, Kimberly Austin was diagnosed with bone cancer, and her left
leg was amputated. Bald from chemotherapy and weighing only 65 pounds,
she "felt sexless and different. Strangers could not decide if I was a
boy or a girl." Thus began, according to writer Roberta Lord, Austin's
investigation into the icons and issues of sexual identity.
