The Claremont Courier profiled two Claremont-area exhibitions featuring the work of Ken Gonzales-Day, Fletcher Jones Chair in Art and professor of art. Queer-ish opened at the Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery on October 28, and Face to Face is currently on display at the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art. The exhibitions deal with issues of race, queerness, history, and identity.
“[These] are topics that I think about all the time because of course they’re part of my experience as an individual in this world,” Gonzales-Day told the Courier. “The art that I make is a reflection of the times that I live in, and it just allows us another access point, another way to think of the questions of our time.”
