Listening and responding to the transitional spaces between music, art, and queer theory, Andrew Zealley works across and through HIV, the queer body, queer ecologies, sexualized substance use, risk, and the ways that public sex practices can treat trauma(s) imposed through processes of biopolitics, capitalism, and gentrification. Zealley recently published four vinyl phonograph records, each exploring ideas and realities of undetectability, queer pleasure, and pandemic: METHodology LP, METHodology EP, New Variant (LP), and Heads on Platters (LP). Zealley’s visual work (photography, video) echoes structures and tropes often associated with music, sound, and listening. Their sound installation, Nature: This Is a Recording (1991-2006), is housed in the permanent collection of the National Gallery Canada. A member of House of Intergenerational, Zealley DJs (with Thomas Del Pozo) as INTERGEN. The future is risky, and possible. We are becoming, mighty real.
