EFA Project Space’s exhibition in partnership with Visual Aids is featured in Hyperallergic’s must-see shows for the month of June! No Bios is on view until June 24th.
In this simultaneously serious, lighthearted, and moving presentation curated by Isis Awad, the New York-based nonprofit dedicated to supporting the work of artists with HIV/AIDS looks introspectively, asking the question: “Does an exhibition need to be ‘about’ HIV and AIDS to make it ‘on mission’ for Visual AIDS?” The vast breadth of works in the show — from HIV-positive photographer D’Angelo Lovell Williams’s intimate self-portraits to the late artist and trans activist Chloe Dzubilo’s uncanny assemblages — offer a layered and nuanced response to this important query. — Valentina Di Liscia
