Jennifer Doyle
Managing Desire: Queer Sport Spectacles

Friday, February 6th, 2009 @ 5:30PM

UC San Diego, Pepper Canyon Rm. 121, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, California 92093

"We like to think of art and sport as sleeping in separate beds.
This talk refuses that story, in favor of a more complicated portrait of
how American art has identified with athletic culture since at least the 19th
century. "Managing Desire" tracks the queer angles in this territory by
looking more closely at the ways that artists have refused the normalizing
force of such identifications to imagine other modes of being in the body
and queer takes on what the athletic gesture might be and do.

(This talk, it should be said, grows out of the following article : Fever Pitch/Frieze -
http://www.frieze.com/issue/article/fever_pitch/)."

-Jennifer Doyle

Jennifer Doyle is the author of Sex Objects: Art and Dialectics of Desire. Sex Objects was a finalist for a Lambda Literary Award for Writing on Art and Culture, and received honorable mention for the Alan Bray Memorial Book Prize.

Al DF en leche:
Videoinstalaciones

Exhibition runs January 29 through February 21, 2009

Opening Reception on January 29, 2009 @ 7PM
Lecture by Dr. Norman Bryson on works by Fabian Cereijido

Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana, Izazaga 92, Centro Histórico, C.P. 06080, México D.F.

Exposición compuesta por cinco videoinstalaciones. En ellas, la gente, los animales y la cara del que subscribe emergen en lo cotidiano e interpelan al que mira de manera íntima e individualizada. Este emerger disturba límites, superficies, membranas: la piel del globo, la superficie de la leche, el nivel del piso, el caso de los animales. Un poco como deidades domésticas, intensas pero casuales, estos objetos sostienen la mirada del espectador.

Gender and Performativity
— A Curated Film Program by Lasse Lau

January 30, 2009 @ 7-10PM

Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF), 10 Hussein Hassab Street, Flat 6, Azarita, Egypt

Gender in this film series curated by Lasse Lau is about the notion of the stylized and performed. What Jacques Lacan described as the mirror stage (le stade du miroir), the place where we are informed by the norm of the mirror, which becomes the core identification of the subject ontology. A body constantly changes character by moving between private and public, physical and virtual, performed and real. The subject relates to this fragmentation and disharmony through the reflection of the mirror, relating to what we are wearing; how we act and what we desire. The essential question then becomes - who am I in this world?
