L’art transgenre, vers d’autres expériences corporelles du temps by Luc Schicharin

“…Next, Wynne Neilly’s "Female-to-‘Male’" installation exposes the artist’s transgender "second puberty" experience, turning away from a hetero-cisnormative chronobiology focused on sexual maturity and reproduction. Finally, the performances of Kris Grey’s "Untitled" and Cassils’ "Cuts: A Traditional Sculpture" question the body as a living sculpture: they deconstruct the idea that the medical identification of sex is "the fruitful moment" (Lessing) of gender and the eternal "biological bedrock" (Freud) of subjectivity. …”
