SUMMARY:Opening Reception for My Romantic Ideal (in person only)
DESCRIPTION:My Romantic Ideal \nA Queer Photography exhibition curated by Slava Mogutin \nMay 1 – August 31\, 2025 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, May 1\, 6-8 PM\nBureau of General Services—Queer Division\nRoom 210 of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W 13th Street\, NYC 10011 \nFeatured Artists\nAlejandro Ruiz (US-Mexico) @alexandroruixx\nBen Prince (US) @benprinceusa\nBenjamin Fredrickson (US) @benjaminfredrickson2\nBrian Kenny (US) @briankennny\nBruce LaBruce (Canada) @brucelabruce\nCameron Lee Phan (Vietnam-US) @cameronleephan\nCarter Peabody (US-Mexico) @carter_pbd\nDonovan Quiroz (Mexico) @dnvn1\nFrancis Schichtel (US) @francis_schichtel\nGerardo Vizmanos (Spain-Germany) @gerardovizmanos\nGio Black Peter (Guatemala-US) @gioblackpeter11\nJan Wandrag (South Africa-US) @janwandrag\nŁukasz Leja (Poland-US) @lukaszleja\nLuke Abby (UK-Germany) @lukeabby\nMatt Lambert (US-Germany) @dielamb\nMiguel Villalobos (Venezuela-US) @miguelvillalobosnyc\nPaul Mpagi Sepuya (US) @pagmi\nQuil Lemons (US) @quillemons\nRobert Flynt (US) @robertflyntfoto\nRoss Collab (US) @rosscollab\nScott Hug (US) @mr._hug\nSlava Mogutin (Russia-US) @slavamogutin\nStanley Stellar (US) @stellar.fse\nStuart Sandford (UK-Mexico) @stuartsandford\nTom Bianchi (US) @tombianchi\nTony Solis (Mexico) @tonysolisyosoy\nTyler Matthew Oyer (US) @tmostudio\nVictor Jeffreys II (US) @victorjeffreysii \nCuratorial statement: \nMy Romantic Ideal is a queer photography exhibition that explores the intersections of intimacy\, desire\, and identity in the contemporary landscape of escalating culture wars\, with state-sponsored\, religious and corporate homophobia and censorship on the rise on both sides of the Atlantic. \nAs queer artists\, we occupy spaces where love and lust collide\, where fantasy and reality dissolve\, and where the body becomes both a site of pleasure and protest. This collection of work from 28 emerging and established photographers—each with their unique vision\, background\, and experience—offers a kaleidoscopic view into the multifaceted and often contradictory nature of queer romance. \nThe title of the exhibition reflects the tension between societal expectations of romance and the deeply personal\, rebellious\, and liberating expressions of love and desire that queer artists present. Romantic ideals have historically been dictated and shaped by heteronormative frameworks\, but here\, we subvert and redefine them through a queer lens. Each artist challenges\, queers\, and reclaims the concept of romanticism in their own way\, whether through intimate portraiture\, raw documentation of lived experiences\, or surreal\, dreamlike compositions. \nAs a curator\, I aimed to gather a selection of artists whose work resonates with the complexities of queer love\, desire\, and identity in their many forms. These photographers are not simply documenting a queer reality—they are creating new paradigms of romanticism\, fueled by their journeys and passions. Together\, their works form a vibrant intergenerational dialogue about the politics of love\, the performance of romance\, and the transformative power of queer eroticism. \nMy Romantic Ideal is not just an exhibition of photography\, but a declaration of the many ways we\, as queer artists\, claim and redefine love—on our own terms\, with all its contradictions\, joys\, and struggles. \n

SUMMARY:Immigrating to the Netherlands for Queer and Trans Folks (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:A workshop for queer and trans Americans who would like information about immigrating to the relatively safe haven of the Netherlands\, a country that is consistently ranked at the top of world rule-of-law indices. \nJeremy Bierbach\, a queer immigration lawyer qualified at the bar of Amsterdam\, and himself an immigrant from the United States\, will explain everything about the Dutch-American Friendship Treaty (often called the “DAFT”)\, a treaty that makes it relatively easy for any US citizen to get a residence permit (a long-term visa) for the Netherlands for the purpose of being an entrepreneur (i.e. as a business owner or freelancer); a US citizen can also be joined by their spouse or partner\, even if that person is not a US citizen and even if they are not married or legally partnered. \nImmigrating this way also provides a path\, after five years’ residence\, to long-term resident status (i.e. a “green card” for the EU) and even citizenship. Subjects covered will include the immigration procedure itself\, as well as issues relating to recognition of name and gender changes and the health care system. There will be plenty of time for Q&A. \n  \n\n\nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n\nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \nThe Bureau will solicit donations at the beginning of the event—we especially encourage donations from those who do not plan to purchase any books. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without a donation. \n\nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @BGSQD \n\n\n  \nJeremy Bierbach (he/him) is originally from Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania. In 2001\, Jeremy emigrated to the Netherlands\, where he studied law at the University of Amsterdam and became an attorney specialized in EU civil rights law and Dutch immigration and citizenship law. He lives with his husband in Zaandam\, just outside Amsterdam.

Since 2021\, he has been running the social media account @Queer_Happened_Here\, which maps the forgotten LGBTQ+ history of the city. He has also been a contributing writer for the NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project and Making Queer History website. He was the contributing editor of the book Getting In: NYC Club Flyers from the Gay 1990s\, and currently serves on the planning committee for the forthcoming American LGBTQ+ Museum. \n  \nAbout Ande Whyland \nWhen artist/photographer Ande Whyland moved to the East Village in 1980\, it was like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. She landed in Club 57\, a now legendary performance/ gallery space that was a headquarters of the astounding East Village art explosion of the 1980s. Ande’s candid photos made her a vital new member of this exclusive underground enclave. It also gave her inside access to other venues that fostered the burgeoning\, party-fueled scene – including The Pyramid Club\, Area\, Jackie 60\, Wigstock\, The Mermaid Parade\, Easter Parade and Slipper Room to name a few. \nThese photos have been published in numerous books and magazines including two separate issues of Artforum\, a full page in the Whitney Museum of Art catalogue “The American Century: 1950-2000.” Four photographs were chosen for the “East Village USA Show” at The New Museum\, and an extensive slide show for the Club 57 exhibition at MOMA. Her book “Shots\, 1980–1986” captures this period with writings by those whose photos are featured in the book. Her latest book “Balloons and Feathers\,” out last year captures the Burlesque stars from the early 2000’s also in their own words. Both books are available on BLURB. \n  \nAbout Queer Happened Here \nA sprawling\, unique visual history of New York City’s queer spaces\, Queer Happened Here documents the evolution of LGBTQ+ culture\, community\, and activism within Manhattan’s dynamic landscape over the course of a century\, spanning from 1920 to 2020. \nNew York’s LGBTQ+ history is everywhere\, but rarely is it visibly documented. Aside from current venues and a handful of landmark plaques\, important queer spaces from the city’s past have otherwise been forgotten about\, or remain entirely hidden. \nThis multifaceted book joyfully and poignantly explores a century of LGBTQ+ gathering spaces across Manhattan through hundreds of historic photographs\, flyers\, posters\, club membership cards\, magazine spreads\, and more. Author Marc Zinaman’s carefully researched\, engaging text includes first-person accounts and little-known facts that range from the humorous to the heartbreaking. \nFrom 1920s bathhouses\, drag balls\, and the ascent of homophobia during World War II\, to the protests and parades of the 1960s and 1970s\, to the horrors of AIDS; from the vibrant nightlife scene of the 1990s to 2018’s Rainbow Wave\, which saw a record number of queer elected officials in the US\, to the rise of geosocial dating apps\, every major milestone of LGBTQ+ social history is thoughtfully documented. \nPublished by Prestel.

SUMMARY:Queer Moderns: Max Ewing's Jazz Age New York (in person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:In Queer Moderns\, Alice T. Friedman tells the fascinating story of the queer avant-garde of the 1920s and ’30s in New York\, Paris\, and Venice\, as seen through the eyes of Max Ewing (1903–1934)\, a young musician\, photographer\, and man-about-town who\, although virtually unknown today\, moved in extraordinary circles. In his photographs and letters\, we meet the rising stars of modern art\, music\, dance\, and literature and enter a world of interracial friendship\, “queer space\,” and experimentation that shone brightly before being swept away by the Depression. It is a remarkable story that reveals that the history of modernism is more queer and more Black than previously recognized. \n  \nAuthor Alice T. Friedman will be joined in conversation by Vanderbilt University Professor Kevin D. Murphy. \n  \nTo reserve a copy of Queer Moderns: Max Ewing’s Jazz Age New York (Princeton University Press\, May 27\, 2025\, hardcover\, $49.95) please write to us at contact@bgsqd.com with “please reserve Queer Moderns for May 29 event” in the subject line. \nThank you for supporting the Bureau by purchasing books from us! \n\n\n  \nThis event will take place in person at the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division\, on the second floor (room 210) of The LGBT Community Center\, 208 W. 13th St.\, NYC\, 10011. \n\n\n\n\nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n\nAlso live-streaming on the Bureau’s YouTube channel: \nyoutube.com/@bgsqd \nThe Bureau will solicit donations at the beginning of the event—we especially encourage donations from those who do not plan to purchase any books. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without a donation. \n\nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register or on Venmo @BGSQD \n  \n\nAlice T. Friedman is an architectural historian who has written numerous articles and books about gender\, sexuality\, and queer space\, including Women and the Making of the Modern House (1998)\, American Glamour and the Evolution of Modern Architecture (2010)\, and Queer Moderns: Max Ewing’s Jazz Age New York (2025). In 2023\, she retired from teaching at Wellesley College\, where she was the Grace Slack McNeil Professor of Art and a founding director of the Architecture Program. Friedman’s current project is a book of essays entitled Poker Faces which examines queer domesticities and modern designs for non-conforming households. \n  \nKevin Murphy is Andrew W. Mellon Chair in the Humanities\, and Professor and Chair in the Dept. of History of Art and Architecture at Vanderbilt University. He was previously Executive Officer of the Ph.D\, Program in Art History at the CUNY Graduate Center. Prof. Murphy has published on queer artists and queer space in the Art Bulletin and elsewhere.
