QUEER GESTURE

The Whitworth Stand: 123

Predominantly sculptural, Kevin Hunt’s work considers alternate social and functional possibilities for everyday objects and architecture through immersive installation, object-making, functional design and increasingly printmaking – often from his own queer and working class perspective.

A colloquial use (or misuse) of language (both verbal and visual) plays a key part in his working process as projects often develop in particular places, working site-responsively. A variety of motifs regularly re-appear in his work such as hole cutting, curving straight lines and the repetition of smudged, blanking-out/white-washing gestures; appropriating these things to talk about his queer experience.

  • Giclée print (taken from a unique monotype) on Monte Carlo mould-made cotton rag paper.
  • Print size: 420 x 297 mm (A3).
  • Printed by King & McGaw in the UK.

This print has been exclusively produced for the Whitworth as part of our Local Artist Print Collection.
