Orchid is excited to present BODYFLUID, a group exhibition by members of the multi artist collaboration QueerSoftOrange opening Saturday August 15th, 2-5PM. The exhibition will run until August 29th, DM for address. 

BODYFLUID is a hot late summer exhibition at Orchid Contemporary, bringing together QueerSoftOrange collective members' works into heated contact and dialogue. BODYFLUID absorbs the fluids that permeate our queer bodies, the fluidity of our desires, and the messiness of body politics. BODYFLUID embodies the burning friction of QSO’s thirst to hold each other, to feel good forever, and to maintain queer communal feelings across body, space, and time. BODYFLUID flags the orange hanky code signaling “anything, anytime” or “nothing now, just cruising”. Playing in the languid days of summer, hot and idle, QSO reflects on the shimmer of a heat wave, or the sweet rush of lust as the unwavering sun transitions into dampening August night, dripping sweat.







QueerSoftOrange is a trans-national multi-artist collective born out of a shared desire for connection, community, and collaboration. Current members include Maddie Alexander, Dana Buzzee, Adrien Crossman, Jane Foley, Morris Fox, Luke Maddaford, Tyler Matheson, and Sheri Osden Nault.
