About The Exhibition

A photograph of a person seated at a round dining table. They are wearing a shiny pink outfit and their face is obscured by a large rose. The table is covered by a draping tablecloth made up of doily patterns. The environment is likewise draped in sheer fabric curtains. There is an empty chair to the right of the table and a bouquet of roses hanging upside down from the ceiling, just over the seated person.

John Jarboe: The Rose Garden

The Rose Garden is an immersive performance space filled with video, music, and objects devoted to John’s consumed twin, named Rose. Visitors can weave their way through a multi-room domestic environment reimagining John’s gender journey. Through interaction with surrealist inspired video sculptures, visitors will discover a series of short films with original songs, hidden treats, and an immersive maze of memories and provocations. The experience culminates in a hang out space made by and for trans and queer communities that will serve as a site of performances and gatherings, including live cabaret, community conversations, and clothing swaps, throughout the run of the show.
