Queer experiences of time deviate from normative and linear rhythms. They are characterized by coming-outs or transitions, have breaks, gaps and leaps. Queer temporalities explore non-linear concepts of time and oppose normative time structures based on reproduction and age appropriateness, among others. The exhibition Gaps, Leaps, Fractures - Queer Temporalities brings together artistic positions that deal with fragmented understandings of time. Using various media, the artists question not only normative concepts of life, but also common notions of productivity and efficiency. The artistic works open up spaces for alternative narratives about queer life and love, explore moments of community and transformation, break with hegemonic historiographies and make voids visible. The past is interwoven with the present and futures are designed beyond chrononormative constraints.
