Brittany Nelson: I can’t make you love me
February 3rd – March 30th
Opening Reception: February 3rd | 5:30 – 8 PM
“PATRON Gallery is pleased to present I can’t make you love me by Brittany Nelson. Nelson’s conceptual practice explores how science fiction, and the ongoing pursuit of space exploration, offer venues for the consideration of new social possibilities outside the limitations of heteronormative society. Utilizing analog chemical photographic techniques, historical science fiction and its archive, and visual culture from recent NASA missions, Nelson suggests how extraterrestrial, or non-human actors can function as proxies for queer life. I can’t make you love me pulls open the human, and often deeply romantic quests at the heart of astronomical discovery, both real and imagined. ”
