Abstract

I have always been skeptical about matchmaking and blind dates. But when the artist E. G. Crichton declared that my “perfect match” was a deceased gay Asian American dandy named Jiro Onuma, I was intrigued. In 2009 Crichton invited me to participate in her ongoing project Lineage: Matchmaking in the Archive, in which she couples contemporary artists with LGBT individuals from the past in hopes of sparking “dyadic” queer bonds between the living and the dead that will result in artistic responses to the archive.
