If ”Queering Sound” is distorting, shaking up and subverting familiar sounds — specifically what one might describe as ”gay music” — then ”Queering Sound 08 [Pix el a tion]” offers the same approach to the visual motifs that accompany the sounds to be heard in the eight installments comprising this year’s show.

”Queering Sound is an alternative to the usual celebrations of GLBT/queer music,” says curator J.S. Adams, who performs with BLK w/ BEAR.

Originally, Adams says, ”the idea of Queering Sound was an audio installation piece and also performance artwork, that basically transcribed the destruction of 12-inch dance records.”

He says that destruction showed that ”there was so much more in terms of art and music and sound that was coming from the queer community, that wasn’t encapsulated in what was being presented within the culture as a whole.”
