Note: This article is the excerpt of the introduction "Queer Intolerability and its Attachments" of Queer (Documents of Contemporary Arts), published by Whitechapel Gallery and MIT Press as one of the Documents of Contemporary Arts series, edited by David J. Getsy, Goldabelle McComb Finn Distinguished Professor of Art History, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. The text that has been translated here include the historical context and the currency of "Queer", the stance that self-nominates as queer and its deployment, as well as how the selections represent a variety of self-declared queer artists and their aesthetic practices, while trying to make sense of them as a whole. The parts in the introduction that are not translated are about how the selections of the book and the artists are organized.
