Prior to opening to the general public, a private book signing and cocktail hour with John Waters will take place in the gallery. In addition to supporting the Queer Biennial, guests who purchase tickets to the pre-opening event will receive a copy of John Waters’ latest book “Make Trouble” which will be personally signed for you on-site. Guests will be treated to complimentary signature cocktails and soft drinks.

John Waters is an American film director, screenwriter, author, actor, stand-up comedian, journalist, visual artist, and art collector, who rose to fame in the early 1970s for his transgressive cult films.

About Queer Biennial

The Queer Biennial is an international survey focusing on the current moments in LGBTQ art and culture that showcases emerging, mid-career, and established artists. Featured work includes installation, film, live performance, and historical documentation. Artists included do not shy away from sexuality, identity, the body, and all around queerness. As independent curators/artists, we champion and challenge artists of all disciplines to temporarily step away from the white-box systems and explore new spaces in an unfiltered and organic fashion. Every exhibition or event is carefully researched and realized with an invited list of artists and curators from around the globe.
