Beyond creating a space for free creative expression and boundary-pushing looks, GARDENS brings together numerous threads of the queer underground at a time when these sorts of spaces feel like rare, sanctified ground. As DJ Heather eloquently explains, “People feel that [clubs] are places to escape from tweeting, from some guy who calls himself president, or a smirk on the subway, or just reading to much on the Internet about horrific, unjust, frustrating things—just to have a few hours to dance, to be free, and to hang with people.”
I'm Kenney Mencher. I'm an artist who left a tenured professorship in 2016 to pursue making art full time. This blog is about art, art history, with a emphasis on human rights. I make homoerotic art featuring bears, otters & other gay wildlife.
