Butch on Butch - photos by Jac Lynch, Photospace Gallery 23rd Jan - 9th Feb 2015 - exhibition info

Addenda, 26th Jan 2015.
There is a 46-page colour catalogue for this exhibition, which includes all 19 photos and the interview material with each portrait. This is in a limited edition of 70 numbered copies, and is available for NZ$20.00. Many copies sold on the opening night of the exhibition, so if you would like a copy, get in quick. Preferably come to the exhibition and buy one (cash, Eftpos), but if you'd like one posted, email me for bank details. It'll be $NZ23.50 in the post within NZ.

There is a 3/4 page article on Jac Lynch's exhibition 'Butch on Butch' in the Dominion Post, Culture section, 26th January 2015. Sorry, no link to the article is available. We will soon scan the article if it doesn't come online, but in the meantime, you can buy a paper!

'Butch on Butch' is a tribute to the people among us whose masculinity defies social and gender norms. They may or may not identify as butch, but on a daily basis they are confronted with others' view of them as such. Some of the people in this series of portraits claim "Butch" proudly; some want to do so even more loudly; and for others, it's just a label. This series of photographic portraits was taken in Wellington during 2014.

Jac Lynch is a butch and lives in Wellington. "Butch is an identity I embrace. I enjoy who I am. I just wish I could go to women's toilets without raising eyebrows."

This is her second solo exhibition at Photospace Gallery, following 'The Orange Room' in June-July 2013.

Thank you Wellington Photographic Supplies, 11-15 Vivian St, for helping with the printing costs for this exhibition.
