Bring Your Own Body: transgender between archives and aesthetics

Bring Your Own Body presents the work of transgender artists and archives, from the institutional and sexological to the personal and liminal. Taking its title from an unpublished manuscript by intersex pioneer Lynn Harris, the exhibit historicizes the sexological and cultural imaginary of transgender through a curatorial exploration of archival collections including the Kinsey Institute and the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria. Simultaneously it presents contemporary transgender art and world making practices that contest existing archival narratives and construct new historical genealogies. Moving beyond the aesthetically defunct category of “identity politics” and the fraught gains of visibility, the artworks propose transgender as a set of aesthetics made manifest through multiple forms: paint, sculpture, textiles, film, digital collage, and performance.

Bring Your Own Body: transgender between archives and aesthetics is curated by Jeanne Vaccaro with Stamatina Gregory and organized for The Cooper Union. BYOB is presented by The John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities and Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery.

Opening Reception for Consent to Be Seen

Riva Lehrer borrows the concept of "informed consent" from biomedicine in order to pose questions about consent in the context of portraiture, especially portraiture involving subjects who are socially stigmatized. As a portrait artist, anatomist, and disability activist, Lehrer is motivated by asking how socially devalued bodies are made visible and how portrait-making can intervene in processes of aesthetic, psychological, and sociocultural revaluation. Sponsored by Haverford College Libraries, the HCAH’s Tuttle Creative Residencies Program, Distinguished Visitors, Health Studies, and the Writing Program.
