Художница Хармони Хаммонд о боевых искусствах: «Сначала я занималась тайцзицюань, а затем айкидо, и занималась этим 36 лет. Это было похоже на физическое воплощение движения за освобождение женщин. В чём была суть движения? В том, чтобы женщины занимали и осваивали пространство. Что я делала в боевых искусствах? Занимала и осваивала пространство». https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2026/05/27/art-harmony-hammond-book-painting-interview/ #HarmonyHammond #citations #taichi #aikido #martialarts #feministartists #lesbianartists #queerartists #historyofart #1970s

Понравилась одна студенческая работа (2026 года), ещё я в ней увидел квир-вайбы, и референсы у художницы все такие квирные. Надо будет посохранять себе побольше картинок и при случае как-нибудь задействовать. #queervibes #queerartists #2020s
Апокриф: на съёмках «Некоторых любящих погорячее» Тони Кёртис был так недоволен поведением Мэрилин Монро, что экранный поцелуй с ней назвал поцелуем с Адольфом Хитлером. Интересно, слышал ли эту байку Влад Мамышев-Монро, у него же на противопоставлении госпо:жей Монро и Хитлера строилась вся вселенная образов. ⦾ https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2026/06/01/art-marilyn-monroe-100-birthday/ #TonyCurtis #MarilynMonroe #SomeLikeItHot #MamyshevMonroe #queerartists

Mickalene Thomas did not set out to be a star. She set out to survive, to see herself, and to see her mother — her friend, her flame, her chaos — reborn as a kind of goddess.

Mickalene Thomas: The Bedazzled Revolutionary of Black Feminine Vision

How a Brooklyn-raised Black queer woman turned glitter, collage, and desire into a radical art movement

I almost forgot to share this: Last month, the queer art collective @shift.gent organised a 3-part event during their residence in SMAK museum in Ghent on queer archives, art, and witchery inspired by the lesbian-feminist collective Liever Heks from the 70s and other queer projects that preceded and followed them. Participants made and silkscreened collages, and sewed cut-out letters and symbols* from those collages on a giant banner.

*I couldn't resist drawing Chainsaw Bunny in the collage part of the event so she turned up in the silkscreens too.
