The Kitchen Table is a large-scale multi-media installation, built as an offshoot of previous installations: The Bathroom (2008). My thesis researches the silenced queer identities in the worlds of art, history, and academia, specifically the silenced queer artist identities of the Modern Art Movement. The instillation creates the same dysphoric environment that the queer community exists in within a society that is not designed or inclusive of them. The research paper reveals the silenced queer identities of leading avant-garde artists and designers while posing the question: Had these identities been more prominent, would
the world be more accepting to the queer community specifically in designed documents (both popular culture & legal)? By embracing the aesthetic of the Dada movement,the designed experience environment that helps simulate the dysphonia queer.
