TRANSVESTISM in the NEWS
Transvestism in the News is a collage of early and mid 20th century headlines gleaned from a scrapbook of the same name that was assembled by transgender activist and cultural figure Louise Lawrence (1912 - 1976). The scrapbook, along with others assembled by Lawrence, is housed at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction in Bloomington, Indiana.
The 35” x 22.9" newsprint broadside was originally commissioned as a takeaway for the fall 2015 exhibition “Bring Your Own Body: transgender between archives and aesthetics” at the Cooper Union gallery in New York City, organized by Jeanne Vaccaro with Stamatina Gregory.
TRANS VIDEO STORE
These posters were made especially for the fourth iteration of MOTHA’s ongoing exhibition project “Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects,” which was on exhibit at the Portland Art Museum in the summer of 2018. This installation focused exclusively on moving image work. The posters contain black and white digital drawings of VHS and DVD covers roughly to scale of the original packages. The 90 drawings, split into three broadside posters, papered the gallery walls and were meant to be evocative of a video rental store. They were also available as take-aways for all gallery visitors.
