Del LaGrace Volcano
Del crosses boundaries in his life and his art. We'll be showcasing as many of his talents as possible at Transfabulous. Del's exhibiting photographs in the group show, presenting a talk with Judith/Jack Halberstam on Saturday after noon AND performing in the cabaret on Friday night! Artist's Statement As a gender variant visual artist I access 'technologies of gender' in order to amplify rather than erase the hermaphroditic traces of my body. I name myself. A gender abolitionist. A part time gender terrorist. An intentional mutation and intersex by design, (as opposed to diagnosis), in order to distinguish my journey from the thousands of intersex individuals who have had their 'ambiguous' bodies mutilated and disfigured in a misguided attempt at 'normalization'. I believe in crossing the line as many times as it takes to build a bridge we can all walk across. Del LaGrace Volcano, September 2005 For more information see |
