gdm is pleased to share Guanyu Xu's recent feature, and video interview in Cultured Magazine.
As the article spotlights: “To share a garden is a beautiful idea,” says Guanyu Xu. “We definitely would love gardens to be public and to have resources for everyone.” Here, the garden is positioned as a refuge, an activation site, and a signifier of community. The included works span pieces made in Chicago from the 1980s to today, acting as a visual archive of queer artistic expression. The MCA goes back to a time when the city was overtaken by protests against the government’s inadequate AIDS response and up to contemporary movements."
