starting at 7pm
Kunsthalle Wien, Museumsquartier
Join an evening of drag king performances by rey, Miki Moskito, Sarah Tasha Hauber, and Karl Klit, and the launch of Katrina Daschner’s newest publication BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON! within the space of the current exhibition Darker, Lighter, Puffy, Flat.
BURN & GLOOM! GLOW & MOON!, co-published with Sternberg Press, transfers the immersive environment of senses, textures, and feelings of present in Daschner’s same titled solo exhibition at Kunsthalle Wien into book form, and touches upon the transforming of “femme”-ness, bodies, and genders.
Bringing together various generations of queer artists and performativity, the launch will feature a discussion with the artist Katrina Daschner, curator Övül Ö. Durmuşoğlu, writer and contributor to the book Amelia Groom, one of the performers, and curator Laura Amann moderated by Nicole Suzuki. The artists present will showcase their drag personas, ranging from kinky cowboy aesthetic to TikTok and pop-cultural references. Feel free to come in drag!
