CULTUREEDIT AUCTION #3
Michael McFadden
Michael McFadden’s (Chicago, IL) artwork explores and celebrates sexual freedom as a form of resistance to multilayered stigma and trauma, both historical and ongoing. Focusing on the overlap between internalized shame and identity affirmation, he draws from family albums and vintage gay pornography. These vernaculars, inherited from biological and chosen families, are the foundation to his visual iconography. His work examines the inner workings and the visceral charges of sexual connection, as they manifest in the context of everyday life. Michael has worked within the social services and community health centers for over 20 years, focusing on LGBTQ health and the provision of HIV/AIDS services. He brings this awareness and process into his photographic work. Michael received his B.A. and M.S.W. from Loyola University Chicago and recently graduated from the ICP-Bard M.F.A. Program in Advanced Photographic Studies. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
