Persistent Desires
Xpace Cultural Centre
January 18 - March 15, 2025
Persistent Desires is a collaborative exhibition featuring Eli Nolet and Ardyn Gibbs, two Hamilton-based emerging queer and trans artists whose practices investigate queer affect through new media and material explorations. Engaging with the queer cultural touchstone of “backrooms” – spaces of queer sexuality and liberation, playgrounds that allow for a possibility to transgress, the installation recontextualizes the gallery space as a site for queer potentiality and dreaming.
