Gallery Hours: Thursday – Sunday 1-6PM
Tainted Love was reviewed in The New York Times by Holland Cotter.
"This smart group exhibition, organized by Visual AIDS, which sponsors art shows that promote AIDS awareness and H.I.V.-prevention, is far more about bonds of affection than it is about fear of disease. Yet the curators, Steven Lam and Virginia Solomon, give equal time to queer art past and present, and there are surprisingly close correspondences between work done now and then, in the years when AIDS was more in the news and more central to gay identity." read more here
