Three Short Interactive Projects:
An Army of Lovers Cannot Fail

November 12, 2004, 7pm

Taking its working title from a 1970s San Francisco Gay Freedom Day poster, Ginger Brooks Takahashi’s project involves a series of Quilting Forums—combining traditional community hand-sewing with theoretical discussions about the intersections of queer community and contemporary art.

Ginger Brooks Takahashi’s collaborative project-based, socially enraged practice is an extension of feminist spaces and queer inquiry, actively building community and nurturing alternative forms of information distribution. She is co-founder of queer and feminist journal LTTR; projet MOBILIVRE BOOKMOBILE project; the touring musical act MEN; and General Sisters. She has presented work at the Oakland Museum of California, 2019; Jewish Museum, 2016; Tensta Konsthall, 2015; Brooklyn Museum, 2013; Museo Tamayo, 2010; New Museum, 2009; and Serpentine Gallery, 2008. She received her BA from Oberlin College and attended the Whitney Independent Study Program in 2007. She is currently developing a public art piece with Nine Mile Run Watershed Association and Center for Civic Arts in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania.
