Titled for Yayoi Kusama, who is the cat's pyjamas.
Aaron McIntosh, Wearing Him: Messenger Cop Boyfriend, 2010 Aaron McIntosh’s just-opened show at Philomena Gabriel is witty and poignant. Mackintosh has taken heterosexual romance novel covers and excised the female protagonists, leaving the man embracing an unknown partner. You can mentally insert one of either sex. In other works he’s created readymade boyfriends. McIntosh has taken his shirts and ironed an image on each one of a guy with his arm out to embrace him. Curated by Anna Walker, curatorial fellow at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, it’s great stuff.
