Life of a Flower: Rafael Sánchez Exhibition

The exhibition Life of a Flower at Galerie Max Mayer explores the practice of artist, performer, and Visual AIDS Artist Member Rafael Sánchez within a cross section of works created by his intimate collaborators and friends––Ellen Cantor, Jim Fletcher, Mark Morrisroe, and Gail Thacker.

The works on view reflect upon shared artistic commitments and sensibilities transmitted across intimate relationships. Themes of desire, exile, grief, sexuality, humor, horror and beauty appear throughout the exhibition, woven together through the interaction of real and fictional narratives. Sánchez was often sought out by friends as an actor, model or muse, and so works by other artists in which he appears are also included. The social thread of his oeuvre is a significant one, joining authorship and participation in ways which instigate the layered framework of the exhibition itself.
