During the course of this semester (I am a graduate student in Goddard College's Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts program), I had the marvelous opportunity to converse, via e-mail and phone, with two artists I think every contemporary art student should just take a look at: C.D. Kirven and Spencer J. Harrison. Totally different artists, but both members of the LGBTQ community, and both exploring the interesections of identity, popular culture, art, and politics. Both are activists in their own right. Both are amazing examples of what could be called the new art spirit - the participation of the artist in the world. The artist taking on the responsibility of submitting for the world's review the commentary and ideas that bubble up out of their art practices and the substance of their lives.
At any rate - take a look! You won't be sorry.
