Dean Sameshima’s work merges lavishes a varied collection of erotic gay imagery with a sophisticated and reduced visual style; the result, exemplified in Without Permission: Cruise Or Be Cruised, is a transcription of homosexual flair and exploration into contemporary means of commercial consumption- clothing, posters, and postmodern art objects. Without Permission: Cruise or Be Cruised recycles a large selection of vernacular and imagery that remains culturally afloat as signifiers of homosexual erotica; these phrases, photographs, and collages are projected on T-shirts, occupying a role in casual, drab daywear as a bombastic juxtaposition to the vibrant sexual interludes of body or mind that exist at the center of Sameshima’s approach.
