Mindspace+ is a new series that expands its horizons beyond the local to chart international conditions of media art.
About the talk:
This lecture surveys instances of cyberfeminism in the 2000s in the United States and Singapore. It spans different strands of feminist and transfeminist work by artists subRosa, Margaret Tan, and micha cárdenas. In examining their performative and research-based practices, Jeannine proposes that these cyberfeminisms not only rethought relationships between online selves and corporeal bodies, but used reproductive labor and durational time to intervene into cultures of net.art, biotech and virtual reality in the new millennium.
For all who are coming, the talk will be followed by an end-of-year mixer.
Jeannine is an art historian who writes about contemporary art and culture in the U.S. and Asia, and teaches histories of art, exhibitions and technology at The New School's Eugene Lang College as Assistant Professor of Modern & Contemporary Art. She has published in venues such as Art Journal, Artforum, GLQ, Theory Culture & Society, journal of visual culture; anthologies including Trap Door: Trans Cultural Production and the Politics of Visibility (MIT 2017); and received a 2020 Warhol Writer's grant towards writing the book Living Legends: Contemporary Art & Transgender History. This Fall, she is a resident at the Singapore Art Museum and preparing a program series called SWEET PEA: YOUR OTHER PROGENY; in Spring 2023, she will convene conversations on queer and trans Asian art histories with the Asia Art Archive in America.
