Salón de Belleza in Utopian Pulse — Flares in the Darkroom 22 October — 02 November 2014 Utopian Pulse — Flares in the Darkroom is a research exhibition divided into 8 salons, curated by a group of artist-curators and perceived as places for the monstrous birth of new alliances. We understand »Utopia« as an always incomplete alternative, the invocation within the given world of something incompatible with, and hostile to, given condition, an assertion of the unrealized in and against the real.
The 7 Salons of Utopian Pulse – Flares in the Darkroom taking place from September 10 to November 2 are curated by Christoph Schäfer, Mariam Ghani, Bert Theis, Zanny Begg, AND AND AND, Pedro G. Romero/Máquina P.H., Miguel A. López.
Salón de Belleza curated by Miguel A. López. With Carlos Motta, Sandra Monterroso, Giuseppe Campuzano, André Masseno, Sergio Zevallos, Virginia de Medeiros, Jaume Ferrete, Open Barbers (Greygory Vass and Felix Lane).

Carlos Motta: Nefandus Trilogy
Thursday, October 2, 6:00 p.m.
Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State St.
School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Carlos Motta in person
Carlos Motta’s practice draws upon various political histories in an attempt to articulate counter narratives that recognize suppressed histories, communities, and identities. Composed of the three films Nefandus, Shipwreck (Naufragios),and The Defeated (La visión de los vencidos), his 2013 Nefandus Trilogy is a haunting examination of pre-Hispanic homoeroticism and its brutal stigmatization during Europe’s colonization of the Americas. Motta accompanies the trilogy with excerpts from his ongoing Democracy Cycle, including We Who Feel Differently (2011), a database documentary that addresses critical issues of contemporary queer culture, and Gender Talents(in-progress), a multiplatform documentary on international trans and intersex activism.

The Unwritten explores possible histories. It documents personal, and reconfigures collective stories by adding silent episodes, surprising prequels of what we know to have become official history.
With works by Adela Babanova, Zachary Formwalt, Annie Kevans, Gert Jan Kocken, Carlos Motta, Song Ta and Koki Tanaka.
