Liss LaFleur Exhibition at The MAC

Professor Liss LaFleurA Conversation with Liss LaFleur, Curator of ‘Cosmic to Corporeal: Contemporary Queer Performance Practices’

Liss LaFleur, assistant professor of new media, has curated an exhibition that opens at the MAC in Dallas this Sept. 21, 2019. It is titled Cosmic to Corporeal: Contemporary Queer Performance Practice.

LaFleur's intentions were twofold: to manifest queer visibility and community in DFW, and to question contemporary performance practices specifically in relation to the queered body. The significance of this exhibition, as one that is situated in Texas, a conservative border state that does not include gender within its hate crime law, and does not have any statewide anti-discrimination laws, is not to be remiss.

The MAC is located at 1503 S. Ervay St., Dallas, TX 75215.
Hours: Wednesday-Sunday, Noon–5 p.m.

The MAC is pleased to present Cosmic to Corporeal: Contemporary Queer Performance Practices, curated by Liss LaFleur, artist, activist, and Assistant Professor of New Media Art at the University of North Texas. Cosmic to Corporeal is on view Sept. 21 through Nov. 9, 2019 with an opening reception Sept. 21 from 6 to 9 p.m., including a performance by Jer’Lisa Devezin at 7 p.m. Two performance events will be held during the run of the exhibition: a performance by Le’Andra LeSeur Oct. 12, 6 p.m.; and a performance event featuring local artists on Oct. 26, 6-9.
