FAGGOT BAGGAGE
SATURDAY, AUGUST 8TH | 6:00 - 9:00PM
An Exhibition + Performance by Ryan Bauer-Walsh
Ryan Bauer-Walsh airs their dirty laundry in an intimate act of exposure in FAGGOT BAGGAGE, a solo exhibition and live performance exploring trauma, grief, substance experimentation, survival, and release. The show features over 30 new paintings, each work functioning as both artifact and confession—revealed theatrically as part of an immersive performance experience.
Blurring the line between exhibition and performance art, FAGGOT BAGGAGE invites audiences into a deeply autobiographical body of work centered on loss, acceptance, and the unexpected joy that can emerge from letting go.
This event is presented by Gallery 198 in Brooklyn in conjunction with a two-week solo exhibition.
Doors open at 6:00pm; performance begins at 7:00pm and will run approximately 45 minutes. The August 8 opening performance will be followed by a birthday celebration for the artist, beginning at 9:00 PM. All are welcome.
