ABOUT THE SHOW
-----------F*GGOT BAGGAGE-----------
An Exhibition + Performance by Ryan Bauer-Walsh
Ryan Bauer-Walsh airs their dirty laundry in an intimate act of exposure in; F*GGOT BAGGAGE, a solo exhibition and live performance exploring trauma, grief, substance experimentation, survival, and release. Featuring over 30 new paintings, each work functions as both artifact and confession—revealed theatrically as part of an immersive performance experience.
Blurring the line between exhibition and performance art, F*GGOT BAGGAGE invites audiences into a deeply autobiographical body of work centered on loss, acceptance, and the unexpected joy that can emerge from letting go.
This event is presented by Gallery 198 in Brooklyn in conjunction with a solo exhibition- The gallery will host the installed show from August 8th through the 16th for viewing after the opening night performance.
Trigger Warning: This performance and exhibition contains themes related to sexual assault, drug use, grief, death, and trauma.
Community Component: This exhibition also functions as a clothing drive benefiting Backpacks for the Street. Guests are encouraged to bring one menswear item to donate.
