Event Description:

Christian Walker: The Profane and the Poignant surveys the work of artist, critic, and curator Christian Walker (1953-2003). Walker was a path-making photographer who made compelling and experimental work about queer sexuality, race, and their intersections from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s. In the mid-1980s, his artistic practice shifted from documentary photography and portraiture to alternative photographic processes involving multiple exposures, archival appropriation, and the integration of paint and nontraditional materials.
