DESCRIPTION:Many artists know that abstract art has queer potential. By tu
 rning away from the representation of the recognizable world\, artists can
  invest in forms and formal relations to conjure and present less restrict
 ed versions of how things might be—and be together. Since its emergence 
 in modernism\, abstraction has proved a useful place for some artists to r
 egister their lack of fit with expectations of sex\, gender\, family\, and
  society that are based on a narrow\, binary account of how people relate 
 to one another. This lecture will discuss the recurrence of “queer abstr
 action” in modern and contemporary art\, asking how non-representational
  art relates to the politics of visibility that have been so central to LG
 BT political and social movements. It will trace some founding formulation
 s of the capacities of abstraction to evoke non-normative sexualities\, ge
 nders\, and lives
