Improvising Sight Lines by Giancarlo Montes Santangelo, 2020

Improvising Sight Lines is a body of photographs, collages, and writing that teases out the poetics of a queer body politic. The different methods of picture making disrupt a set of relational codes that are naturalized by heterosexuality, and thus create a queer logic. This sort of world making attends to coherence, disjunctures, care and labor.

Giancarlo Montes Santangelo is an artist born in New York. He received his BFA in Visual Arts from SUNY Purchase College and was recently exhibited at the 2019 Whitney Bienniel. In 2018, he joined the Peace Corps and began teaching English and Photography in South Africa. His work weaves writing and photographs in order to tease out the poetics queerness.

MONOLITH EDITIONS was created in recognition of the reality that if the art world will not make space for us, we must make space for ourselves. Artists of color are best positioned to interrogate and speak to the issues that face our country; however, opportunities to share and amplify our work remain elusive. At MONOLITH, we are engaged in the critical work of celebrating, recognizing, and lifting up BIPOC art by publishing artists who have historically been denied opportunities to gain a wider audience for their work.
