Eleventh Hour Art is pleased to present The Thinning Veil, a group show featuring all trans and non-binary artists, July 7 — August 5, with an opening reception Friday, July 7th from 6—9pm.

Featuring artists: Carter Shocket, Charlie Caulfield, Dannika Pamonag, Ella Erwin, Hee Eun Chung, Jules Magnus, K Sarrantonio, Luke Lunsford, Mickey Parkill, Summer Surgent-Gough, Traci Johnson, and Xhiba.

As trans bodies, rights, and lives are debated and policed internationally by cisgender people, trans co-curators Carter Shocket and Alexia Catenazzo have crafted a show that offers glimpses of the trans experience while keeping transness, as whole, honored in sacred mystery. 

In a photography work by Summer Surgent-Gough, we see placed side by side: a cannonball sized splash and a ray of sun on the water. We don’t see the figure jumping into the water in Surgent-Gough’s work; they are allowed freedom from scrutiny. Instead, we feel the split second of the jump, the rush of air from the fall, and the cool splash of breaking through the water. Likewise, the collected work of The Thinning Veil captures vital glimmers of trans and non-binary experience, without putting artists on display for continued debate.

Like a wind seen only through the rustle of leaves, the works trace movements visible and invisible, inviting visitors to be touched by forces that reach through the veil. On July 7, Eleventh Hour Art invites you to witness some of the best trans and non-binary artists working and living in New York today.

“We especially welcome trans and non-binary visitors to join us in honoring the mystery of our shared and sacred experiences.” – curator Carter Shocket
