RUSSIAN STUDENT AT SLU EXHIBITING WORK IN ART GALLERY

CANTON - "A Boy and His Agenda," an exhibition of work by 
St. Lawrence University senior Alexei S. Boulokhov, will be 
in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery on campus from November 7 
through December 20. It includes images, installations, and 
performance artworks that attempt to challenge the conventions 
of representing sexual orientation.
	Boulokhov, of Novocherkassk, Russia, is a speech and theatre 
major, and has appeared in many stage productions, earning a 
Joan M. Fuzak Drama Award. He is also a recipient of a St. Lawrence 
Theological Society Award and a Don Makosky Gender Studies 
Award for his involvement with the student organization PRIDES 
(People Recognizing Individuality, Diversity, and Equality of 
Sexualities) and for his contributions to a safer, more 
open-minded campus community.  His project "Gay Fantasy and Queer 
Reality: History of Representation of Homosexuality in American 
Film" was selected for a 2001 University Fellows grant. This 
summer, he traveled as a Tanner Fellow to Poland, the Czech 
Republic and Germany to research the emergence of "queer culture" 
and the gay rights movement in Eastern Europe. With his digital 
feature film Flamer, a gay coming-of-age story set in a small 
northern New York town, Boulokhov was a participant in the 
Kodak American Pavilion Student Filmmaker Program at the 55th 
Cannes Film Festival.
