Gratuity Included Book Release Party and Exhibit is Rescheduled /  by Chris Suspect

As we consistently see events cancelled thanks to COVID-19, I am sad to say my Book Release Party and Exhibit for Gratuity Included on Mar 27th at sPACYcLOUd is also being postponed for the safety of all. We are currently looking at May 8th for now, but it's all still tentative.

So in the spirit of keeping social distancing social, here are some photos of I Against EYE and Zealot RIP, the two bands that were and still are going to play the book release party and exhibit.

And if you haven't heard the second edition of Gratuity Included is now at the printers, so if you missed the first edition and want a copy they are available for presale.

Stay safe out there!

I am very excited that one of my images from my FAITH project will be part of the Round Hole Square Peg 4 exhibit at PHOTO LA Jan. 30 through Feb 2. Round Hole Square Peg is a biennial international survey of the queer photographic gaze and PHOTO LA is the longest running contemporary art fair on the west coast.

After PHOTO LA, Round Hole Square Peg 4 moves to the City of West Hollywood's Plummer Park Gallery for a longer museum-like run from February 8-March 4, 2020, with a special opening and closing night reception.

Opening night in West Hollywood will feature a celebrity-driven, live photography auction to benefit The Trevor Project: the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth and the ONE Archives Foundation: a vital resource for showcasing the trailblazing history and rich culture of LGBTQ communities through exhibitions, public programs, and education initiatives that pull from the largest collection of LGBTQ archival materials in the world.
