Collaboration with Cass Bird, Sasha Anthome, Dusty Lombardo and Lex Vaughn.

Wrecked into the back wall of the gallery will be a life-size rainbow RV, an evocation of the vehicle JD took across America for the production of this new catalog. Video and audio will fill the space, along with collaborative works by Bird, Vaughn, Lombardo and Anthome.

This summer, JD collaborated with photographer Cass Bird on a follow-up to their 2003 project, JD’s Lesbian Calendar, with a new calendar entitled JD’s Lesbian Utopia. The project was photographed over 10 days while traveling with five lesbian friends in a rented RV, visiting gay and lesbian campgrounds and RV parks in the southern United States in search of a ‘Lesbian Utopia.’ As they traveled across countrysides and mountains in this 30-foot vehicle with a kitchenette, they feverishly documented every moment that met them: from tubing on the hazy rivers of Georgia women’s land, to frolicking in the above-ground pool oasis of a Texas gay men’s ranch. JD and friends took over 2000 photos and 26 hours of video tape of both the proprietors and visitors of these intentional spaces, and of themselves, who, by traveling together so closely, were creating their own Lesbian Utopia.
