September 16 - October 29, 2022
Frankie Toan: Strange Familiars presents the last six years of work by Denver-based artist Frankie Toan (they/them/theirs). In their large-scale soft sculptures, Toan stitches together investigations of plants, bodies, queerness, ecosystems, and the interconnectedness of all things. The exhibition is installed as a “Queer Garden,” a space that is celebratory and playful, with bright colors, a fantastical sense of scale, and materials like fringe, sequins, and lively prints. In this garden, Toan imagines more equitable and collaborative association between humans and their environment. They present a world in which the most radical notions of gender and relationship can flourish. Toan reconsiders what constitutes a “family,” and elevates the values of collective nourishment and reciprocal care.
