Made in My Bedroom
Featuring John Bertle, David Gilbert, Jim Isermann, and Daniel Arthur Mendoza

In 2020, John Bertle, David Gilbert, Jim Isermann, and Daniel Arthur Mendoza started a book club to read Queer Theory. Having met in the University of California - Riverside’s MFA Art program, the group comprised one alum, two current students, and one professor. An informal education began. They met weekly over Zoom during the first dark year of the pandemic, reading works by José Esteban Munõz, Olivia Laing, and Jack Halberstam. Four years later, the group still meets, though less regularly, to read, talk, watch, gossip, and support each other. This exhibition is composed of artwork each of them has made over the last four years.
