The Transcurators bring the concept and problems of trans to the gallery space. Their exhibition asks viewers to question standard notions and organizational practices, bringing together artists, thinkers and activists who challenge traditional boundaries between mediums, practices, and disciplines, and investigate links and crossings-- between art and science, politics and poetry, nature and culture, the environment and the senses. The show features local, national, and international contributors, and includes performance, sculpture, video, photography, installation, dance, and sound.
