Art Access is proud to present “Monstrous: Being The Monstrous Other” Exhibition and Workshop by Lewis Figun Westbrook. The show will run August 16 - September 12 at Art Access’ gallery, located at 230 S. 500 W., Suite 110, Salt Lake City, UT - Located in the Artspace City Center Building. Exhibition Hours: Tuesdays 1-6pm, Wednesdays 9-2pm, Thursdays 1-6pm. There will be an opening reception on August 16 from 6-8pm, as part of Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. @gallerystroll On Saturday, August 17 from 2-4pm at Art Access’ gallery, Lewis Figun Westbrook will lead a zine workshop. The workshop will cover a brief history and the significance of zines (self produced booklets about any range of topics), and how to make them, including folding techniques and prompts. Lewis will also be talking about their work and process as a queer artist with a disability. The exhibition and workshop are free to the public. Masks are required for these events. "Monstrous” is a rejection of social norms, a show that finds the fear behind ‘othering’ and does not hide from it. In the artist’s own words: What is my gender? Other. Sexuality? Other. Ethnicity? Other. Disability? Other. This loose fit, similar to Queer represents me better than any of the predetermined categories spread out in front of me. As you move through this show, I challenge you to find the hope and love in things previously assigned dangerous and disgusting. Question your reaction to each and every one. Here I am, a monster, my skin peeled back. Here I am, an ‘other’, smiling at a horrible pun. Here I am, a predator, just trying to protect my friends. Remind me, what is scary about us monsters? Lewis Figun Westbrook (all pronouns/no genders) is a queer writer of too many genres and artist of too many things. He is currently published in Love Gone Wrong, a horror anthology, and many self produced zines. Find them on most social media @lewisrllw
