(vag)Anal Painting (after Shigeko Kubota) 2005
Grunt Gallery, Vancouver
performance with calligraphy brush, silicone butt plug, ink on paper

This homoerotic and scatological performance is not only an homage to Shigeko Kubota’s Vaginal Painting (1965), but more urgently, a tongue-in-cheek response to gendered and racialized representations and readings of bodies in contemporary culture. It interrogates the classical gaze that feminizes not only the Asian body (straight or gay), but Asia as a body.
