Tom Denize is an artist and emerging curator based in Naarm/Melbourne, currently undertaking a Masters of Fine Arts at Melbourne University. Originally hailing from Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa, Tom’s practice is primarily concerned with Queer theologies and temporalities, and how these things can reframe understandings of place, memory and desire.
Is cruising a form of time travel, a doorway into a pocket of Queer time, or something else entirely? Tom Denize unpacks the heat and magnetism of cruising spots.
