Date: Saturday, May 7, 2022

Time: 5-7PM CST

Location:  2521 Holman St

Join us for the opening reception of Resuming Round 51 | Junior Fernandez: God made everything out of nothing, but the nothing shows through on May 7, 2022 from 5-7PM CST. Artist Fernandez will share intimate details about his installation with an Artist Talk at 6 PM that evening. Light refreshments will be served.

With God made everything out of nothing, but the nothing shows through Fernandez explores ways of working through and with what he has come to understand as a basic ontological impossibility in representing queerness. This “impossibility,” a sly challenge in comprehension, is perhaps more generative in that it depicts a resistance to data recognition-based market systems and instead induces more fluid modes of becoming.

About Junior Fernandez

Junior Fernandez is an interdisciplinary artist and curator whose artistic practice inhabits and critiques the convergence of queerness and the built environment. Rooted in the idea that the landscape is an expression of dominant political might, Fernandez looks for subversion tactics through the unfolding of slippages between actuality and projection (what is and what could be) to undermine consolidated systems and flip historical narratives.

Fernandez was born in La Habana (con ‘b’ alta), Cuba, studied at the Visual Arts Chautauqua Institution (VACI) in New York and received a BFA in Photography and Digital Media at the University of Houston. Fernandez is the co-founder of without architecture, there would be no stonewall; without architecture, there would be no “brick.”
