David J. Getsy, the Eleanor Shea Professor of Art History at the University of Virginia, will be delivering a captivating talk as part of the Weintz Art Lecture Series at Stanford. Titled "Chic Radicals: Street Drag as Critical Performance Art in the late 1960s and 1970s", Getsy's presentation will shed light on the transformative power of drag as a form of public and critical performance art. The talk will explore the experiences of queer and transgender artists in New York City during the late '60s and '70s, as they harnessed the subversive potential of drag to challenge societal norms and advocate for the inclusion of street life in LGBT politics. Through the stories of Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt, the Hot Peaches, and Stephen Varble, Getsy will unravel the bold and inexpensive performance practices that emerged on the sidewalks, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression and engaging with issues of elitism, commercialization, and the quest for queer visibility. This thought-provoking lecture promises to offer a fresh perspective on the history of drag and its profound impact on contemporary art. The event is generously supported by J. Fred Weintz and Rosemary Weintz, and will take place on November 16, 2023, at the McMurtry Building's Oshman Hall in Stanford. Admission is free, making this an excellent opportunity to engage with a groundbreaking exploration of street drag as critical performance art.
