Wood, Flesh

Peter Clough and Jennifer Gustavson

December 2, 2016 – January 22, 2017

Fresh Window is pleased to present Wood, Flesh, an exhibition of new photographs and sculptures by Peter Clough and Jennifer Gustavson. Clough and Gustavson are long-time friends and collaborators whose styles and practices influence each other often. Wood, Flesh brings together a body of self-portraits in which each artist disassembles and reconstitutes their own queer body in arrangements that are at once intimate, political and humorous. The physical materiality of the body is rendered in a plurality of forms: chiseled pine, cast plaster, glossy acrylic and blinking video. As a whole, Wood, Flesh is an investigation of the limits of the queer body, frayed at the edges, impaled, penetrated, expelling and ingesting.
