Exhibition catalogue notes evaluating the video works of queer artist Cecilia Dougherty, with special attention paid to Dougherty's interrogation of self/subject formation; problematization of language and historical representation; contrast of private and public spaces; and appropriation of pop culture, which comes to act as "agent of both humour and terror" in her work.
