Six White Cadillacs

Author
Peterson, Brice
Abstract
This thesis exhibition and accompanying statement address issues surrounding fandom and queer identification with celebrity culture. Through found, altered, and fabricated objects—including sculpture, video, textiles, and digital prints—the artist investigates the affective ramifications of nostalgic attachment to outmoded artifacts of popular culture, including the possibility of “queering” such artifacts or otherwise redeeming their commodified forms in a search for pleasure, understanding, or communion with the gay icon.
