Julia's Room Opening

July 26, 2024

For one night only, the Pearlstein Gallery presents the immersive experience of Julia's Room, curated by Dave Hannon in collaboration with Darren Woodland Jr. Imagining a past through the lens of the avatar Julia, Julia’s Room reconstructs a narrative about growing up queer in a heteronormative domestic environment. Through the fabrication of a site responsive installation incorporating sculpture, video, AR and performance, it is centered around the miniature site of Julia’s room. Julia’s Room investigates themes of absurdity, nostalgia to communicate how a queer person and others become incongruous to their domestic environment, and how Julia and the audience navigates these imagined yet familiar spaces.
