FAIRY is an exhibition that envisages queerness as a slippery spirit that is hard to pin down. How do queerness and desire become visible? What are the possibilities and limitations of this? FAIRY plays out material and intangible ways queers circulate, contest and collect together.
Curated by Spiros Panigirakis and Mel Deerson. With thanks to Creative Spaces, City of Melbourne and Monash University Museum of Art.
