Sunday, May 30, 2021

Curated by UTA Art + Art History senior lecturer and Disability Studies affiliated faculty Stephen Lapthisophon, SUBJECT: Disability featured the work of nine artists whose work explores issues pertinent to disability today. Lapthisophon, who co-led gallery talks with TCU Art Galleries Director Sara-Jayne Parsons and whose work has been exhibited extensively both in the US and internationally, explained that the title “serves not only as a marker for the content of the show but also as a reference to a subject-object relation on questions of being – agency, authority and power – ‘who speaks for whom?’ in our world.” The exhibit included works by Gary Cannone, Sally Glass, Joseph Grigely, Olga Koumoundouros, Pierre Krause, Michelle Rawlings, Sunaura Taylor, Lauren Woods and Michael Wynne, whose “Braille Urinal” banner is shown in the photo.
