Gray Swartzel: Mother Tongue No. 1

October 24, 2017 @ 9:00 am - October 28, 2017 @ 5:00 pm

MFA Candidate Gray Swartzel presents Mother Tongue No. I, the first work he has created with his biological mother in three years.  Upon coming across a home video that presents both his pregnant mother and the artist as a newborn, Swartzel acts as a drag character of his mother in order to queer his existence prior to birth.  The exhibition depicts the pair in 1991 and in 2017 as they perform their mother child relationship.
