Queer Multiples presented works by queer artists drawn from Art Metropole’s inventory and spanning from 1978–2025. The featured works trace a queer tradition of artists’ multiples permeated with absurdity, sexuality, and magic, gesturing towards the slipperiness of everyday objects. The exhibition considers the form of the multiple and its potential to subvert (or queer) normative and capitalistic expectations.
