Exhibition runs August 6 through September 14
Gallery Project, 215 South Fourth Avenue, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104
Gallery Project presents Gender Agenda, a multi-media exhibition in which 21 local, regional and national artists bring gender issues to center stage. They explore gender identity, broaden the scope of the terms masculine and feminine, and seek to tear away binary descriptions. Artists include Heather Ault, MB, Debra Broz, Sarah Buckius, PG Toys - Micha Cardenas, Steve Coy, Charles Fairbanks, Adrianne Fernandez, He-Bops, Patrick Hillman, Heidi Kumao, Robert Lendrum, Lauren McEntire, Marisa Miller, Cal Navin, Erik Peterson, Mike Richison, Jada Schumacher, Jeff Schweitzer, Catherine Smith, Jack Summers.
There are fundamental differences between men and women, namely, physiological and chemical. However, how we behave as men and women is more complex and constructed than our physical bases. Masculinity and femininity were tools of control and power long before science discovered biochemical inclinations towards these seemingly divisive terms. A broad range of identities and realities lie between these poles and outside mainstream consideration. As one of the contributing artists asks “Are binary gender performances necessarily retrogressive”? When is it okay to act “like a man” or to act “like a woman”?

Martínez (USA), Marcos Ramírez ERRE (México) and Nina Waisman (USA).
The Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT) is located at the corner of Paseo de los Heroes Avenue and Javier Mina Street, in the Rio Zone, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico.
Civic Project / Proyecto Cívico investigates the reconfiguration of the notions of civic responsibility and citizenship under political and social conditions defined by exception to the rule of law. The exhibition departs from the recent attention paid to the city as central theoretical model and site of study and turns the focus towards those who inhabit the city, to all citizens and potential citizens.
Current economic and political politics have brought the rights of citizens under question as the confluence of global migration, economic globalization, and the criminalization of everyday life shape international and national politics. More pressingly, the everyday conditions of communities and individuals are affected at an intimate and personal level resulting in a de-facto denial of personal political agency. This has created social environments constituted by exceptions, erasures, and evasions to civic structures. Exceptionality increasingly defines both national and international politics through widening of the powers of the state and corresponding diminishing of individual agency and citizen rights. Exceptions to the rule of law, however, also create vacuums that are increasingly appropriated by individuals and groups as spaces of renewed personal and communal possibility of social engagement and change.

The literature of Borges has been a favorite of contemporary theorists for decades. Derrida, Foucault and Culler saw an ancestor of deconstruction in Borges, Baudrillard related simulation to his work. Umberto Eco named the head librarian of the monastery of The Name of the Rose, a blind, august, and rather irritable individual, Jorge de Burgos. What is the appeal that Borges' work has for these theorists? Does he conform to this role? This conversation seeks to engage these questions through an enquiry of his address of the reader and his self inscription.

Cocked! The Possessed Male: Object of Desire
Art and the Masculine Evolution
July 17 - August 23, 2008
Opening Reception: Thursday, July 17 | 7-11pm
featuring a perfomance by Seth Augustine
Luis De Jesus Seminal Projects, 2040 India Street, San Diego, CA 92101
'COCKED! The Possessed Male: Object of Desire' is a survey of post-masculine contemporary art created by 21 artists working primarily in the San Diego/So Cal region. COCKED! will examine issues of masculinity, art, and "production"--specifically, the idea that men are predisposed to make, build or transform objects, starting from an early age (forts, go-carts, etc.) to adolescence (cars, music/instruments, etc.) and on through adulthood (houses, furniture, the old garage shop--that bastion of unrequited dreams), and even their own bodies (through weightlifting, plastic surgery, and drag/gender manipulation). Participating artists include: David Adey, Scott Amour, Seth Augustine, Jack Balas, Jeff Colson, Lael Corbin, Dean Deane, Brian Dick, John Dillemuthe, William Feeney, Marcelino Goncalves, Scott Horsley, Criag Kane, Owen Mundy, Andy Ralph, John Patrick Salisbury, Jason Sherry, Tristan Shone, Trey Speegle, Robert Twomey, and Zuri Waters.
Exploring a wide range of directions and positions--from social, political, and geographical to sexual, gender, and philosophical, and including a broad range of media--from painting and sculpture to photography, video, and performance--the exhibition poses a number of questions and hypothesis. Are these objects a repository of male ideals, desires, fantasies, pleasures--of the conscious and the unconscious--and by extension a reflection of each man's sense of self and their individual manhood? Are they a construction of the artist's desires--a literal production/performance ("power play")--in response to being under the influence or subjugation of his own or other's thoughts and feelings (i.e., the possessed male)? To what extent is the male's proclivity to construct, build, tinker, fantasize, and objectify a response to the male's expected role of mastery and control? And is mastery a form of machismo? Is post-masculine art gender specific? And can a city be masculine or feminine based on the activities that occur within its boundaries?
