This Gay Show
From Tyler Green’s Modern Art Notes: “Must-read: On the occasion of a recent talk at the Tacoma Art Museum, The Stranger’s Jen Graves talked with Jonathan Katz about “Hide/Seek” (which arrives in Tacoma in March) and more. Absolutely great anecdotes, context, history and more.”
Smithsonian Releases Report on Visitor Reaction To NPG’s ‘Hide/Seek’
From Tyler Green’s MAN: “A visitor study of the National Portrait Gallery exhibition “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture” conducted by the Smithsonian’s own Office of Policy and Analysis and published yesterday found strong visitor approval for and appreciation of the show. The report indicates that visitors formed strong intellectual and emotional connections with “Hide/Seek,” that visitors overwhelmingly praised the NPG for presenting a scholarly, inclusive exhibition that brought together social history and art history, and that visitors were perplexed by the Smithsonian leadership’s censoring of the exhibition.”
