Tyler Matthew Oyer: Calling All Divas

In Real Life: Studio provides a glimpse into the working processes of artists. Throughout the fall a select group of artists utilizes spaces in the museum to convene and rehearse new material, including theater, dance, music, and performance. While some artists and collectives will simply discuss or workshop material, others will produce a new project from rehearsal to final performance. 

Calling All Divas is an episodic exploration of actual and imagined queer ancestries. A performative conflation of multiple personas presents the complex possibilities and limits of identifying, indexing, archiving, and fantasizing inherited and desired radical, queer intergenerational linkages on the body and mind.
