about

Sweat Equity is thrilled to present the debut single of Michigan-born, New York based musician, artist, DJ and meme admin Boyfriend.dick, the razor-sharp, club-ready “Community Guidelines.” Following up a string of performances, gallery shows, and ongoing digital projects, “Community Guidelines” sees him challenging the current censorship policies of social media platforms, particularly towards queer culture and identities.

After graduating with a degree in Sociology, BFD moved to New York City to pursue a full-time practice, and quickly found fertile ground. He’s performed across New York and released several projects under the name Goon Soul, including Less Than a Year (2016), Holding (2018), and LIKABLE (with VIGILETTI, 2019). As a performance artist he has been featured in works including Young Boy Dancing Group (OCD Chinatown, 2019), Authority Figure (Knockdown Center, 2016), INNIE (Otion Front Residency, 2017), and most recently showcased a solo performance called BOYFRIEND.DICK’S ENDLESS SCROLL (Highland Park, 2020). He has also recently walked in fashion shows for Barragán Spring ’21, NHIL Men’s Fall ’20, and Willie Norris Fall ’19. He has also produced a range of editions works, most notably a limited edition Boyfriend.dick Tarot Deck, which is a modern take on the tradition of tarot which uses the visual language of memes to represent its archetypes

Under his debut single for the Boyfriend.dick project, this relentless creative drive finds new territory without losing any of the artist’s urgency and character. Over the past two years, he grew a personal finsta into a public meme platform with a following of 60k+, adapting a Discord page for queers from around the world to share memes, news, advice, hentai, nudes, and more, creating a vital community platform that found increasing importance during the isolation and emotional fallout of the Covid-19 outbreak. But that same vitality and growth became a target for Instagram’s Community Guidelines bots, and was shut down last year, separating the many followers who had found a space for connection and community.

“Community Guidelines” responds in appropriately direct fashion, spinning a string of “censored” sexual allusions over a searing club rhythm, a percussive two minute workout that’s equal parts ribald and righteous, asserting a pride and coy subversion of censorship that never loses sight of keeping the bodies moving.

This expanded single includes a new remix by Estoc and featuring River Moon.
