OK, there's a procession, which is an all-too-rare occurrence at art openings these days (where everyone is there to be seen, except for the artist who is hiding from the MX photographer). But to launch this exhibition, presented by Trough Faggot Party, the artists will parade from an undisclosed location, right to the door of Utopian Slumps, wearing amazing orange costumes and carrying placards they have made earlier that day.
It's perfect for a show that's about questioning the performance of your self-image, especially in a nightclub context like the Trough Faggot parties where there's a homo-geneity thing going on anyway. In the exhibition, artists including Alan Ting, Amelia Borg, Tin Nguyen and They Shoot Homos Don't They editor Timothy Moore reinterpret the theme of a previous Trough Faggot party as a kind of phallic tower (alongside video art by Emile Zile and Annie Wu). So there will be even more penises than usual, which is totally worthy of a parade (but probably, thanks be, not an MX article).
