Working against the backdrop of the sexual revolution in the 1970s, many of his self - portraits sought to deconstruct
traditional gender binaries, frequently referencing Marcel Duchamp's female alter - ego Rrose Sélavy.
The work I have brought together for the Biennial reflects this, whether through complex relationships between linguistic and visual forms; the interface of digital technologies with more
traditional media, and the recorded past with the lived moment; the development of two - dimensional scores, scripts, and patterns into three - or even four - dimensional actions and environments; the challenging of
binary conventions of
gender; or the intricacy of cosmopolitan, cross-national identities.
