Gabriel Martinez's multidisciplinary works have been greatly motivated by the themes of loss, celebration, memorial, and cultural identity.
About
His current work reflects his interest in queer history, specifically the period between the Stonewall Riots and the outset of the Aids epidemic. For the Prince St. Project Space, he will be presenting a multi-media installation entitled Poolside, which will explore the milieu of Fire Island of the 1970s. Included in this exhibition will be works inspired by the novels of John Rechy and Wakefield Poole’s iconic film Boys in the Sand. Gabriel Martinez (b. Miami 1967) is a Cuban-American artist based in Philadelphia, PA.
Ongoing performance and small videos will be shown during the reception and the exhibition.
