In this transcript of a panel on the exhibit of Robert Giard’s portraits, Just as You Are, at the University of Toronto on May 4, 2012, 4 panelists approach the work politically and personally, aesthetically and psychoanalytically. Harris considers the tension in queer portraiture between intelligibility and liminality; Corbett discusses the artist’s and subjects’ frank engagement; Goldner addresses safety, vulnerability, and mutuality in the portraits; and Dimen recounts the experience of having sat for Giard.
