#queer nightlife
In celebration of Pride during the month of June, we’re highlighting works from three Whitney Collection artists who have either identified with, or fought for, the LGBTQ community through their art. The pioneering video artist Charles Atlas has brought together dance, performance, and media for nearly four decades. Here, see a still from his work, What I Did Last Summer—a three-part chronicle of queer nightlife in New York in the early 90s—shown as a part of the exhibition Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection.
