Artists’ Statement 

“The supplemental, illustrated, scientific, unretouched and anatomically correct volume of information from The How and Why (and WTF?) Library designed to help you meet the Orwellian challenges of navigating in a cacophony of alternative facts, advertising, propaganda, dissonance and ballyhoo.”

Casebeer, Actual Real Factual (Period), 2017, Mixed-media

Selected photographs from the “Queens of Carnaval” series will be on view at Tilt Gallery from April 20 to May 6, 2017. RedWulf DancingBare will be available for conversation on Thursday, April 20, from 7 to 9 pm.

Artist Statement

“I made my home from 1987 to 1999 in the photographer’s paradise of Province town, Massachusetts. I came out there and found myself healthy and happy. I made amazingly deep and long lasting friendships there. I also created art, cooked, performed union ceremonies for a large LGBT community, and did a great deal of healing work there. It was there that I went through the great AIDS devastation of the late 80’s and early 90’s losing many clients and friends. These photos shot on 100 speed Kodak with a Pentax ME Super are a testament to the indomitable spirit of that community. The colors, the textures, the emotions, and the heart worn in this celebration of our love, our honor, and our freedom exuded from everyone and everywhere. We had survived Reagan, Aids, the death of Princess Diana, and life was rich. There was an ecstasy in that moment.”    Ralph Victor Greco AKA RedWulf DancingBare
