Farm Projects is pleased to present Parting Line, a solo exhibition by KORN that brings a raw and urgent material language to themes of queerness, intimacy, and resistance.
Originally from Recife, Brazil, Korn studied art in Memphis before relocating to Brooklyn, and later the Hudson valley; where they spent 25 years fabricating work in glass, wood, and metal for other artists at Polich Fine Art foundry/UAP. After decades away from their own practice, Korn has returned with a distinct lexicon shaped by letterpress, printmaking, photo transfers, concrete and metal.
In this collection, KORN turns to the architecture of queer cruising—the coded language of public restrooms and hidden meeting places—as a lens for exploring bodily autonomy, visibility, and risk in a repressive political moment. These charged prints and sculptural works evoke the materiality of tile, plumbing, urine, and surveillance, transforming spaces of marginalization into ones of subversion and connection.
Balancing industrial grit with moments of intimacy, KORN reimagines sites often weaponized against trans and queer bodies into arenas of pleasure, protest, and visibility.
