This session evokes pioneering examples of expression of queer culture in the decade that witnessed the rise of the music video as a tool for promotion. A first batch recalls Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Dead Or Alive, Divine and Bronski Beat, all of which crossed pop with the heritage of dance music. The expression of androgyny in Boy George is represented by Culture Club. The prehistory of lesbian visibility in music videos is illustrated by k.d. lang and Indigo Girls. This session also recalls a visionary experience by Pop Dell’Arte and a littleseen video by Pet Shop Boys. And the art of Derek Jarman at the service of pop, with music by Marc Almond and The Smiths.
