Lineage: Matchmaking in the Archive 2

LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive II

The first work to emerge from LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive was exhibited in an inaugural exhibition at the GLBT Historical Society main gallery in summer, 2009. It included the work of the first 12 participants.

In summer, 2010, as part of CHRONOTOPIA: the Past, Present and Future of Queer Histories, the work of 8 new collaborators formed a self contained installation in the back room of the SOMArts Gallery. LINEAGE: Matchmaking in the Archive is furthermore honored to have work included in the Fabled Asp exhibition at the Skylight Gallery of the San Francisco Public Library in fall, 2010.
