It should come as no surprise that Tammy Rae Carland's solo exhibition, An Archive of Feelings, draws its title from Ann Cvetkovich's lauded book. Between Carland's impressive resume (the photographer is also a filmmaker and the co-founder of Mr. Lady Records) and Cvetkovich's scholarship, the pair combine contemporary queer theory with memory, trauma, and the creative impulse. The artist takes indelible bird's-eye-view shots of "lesbian beds" (sans lesbians), pictures of text scrawled on the backs of photographs, and posed family portraits. Her new work in Archive illustrates her ongoing fascination with reenactment, mortality, and sexuality.
