Do you have any recommendations of books on queer theory and art you've been vibing with lately or that you've found really foundational? I love seeing the stuff you reblog and I would love to take a look at any texts/pieces/collections you've found really formative and impactful. Thank you in advance!

omg thank you!! Sorry it took me so long to reply, I loved this question and really wanted to do it right lol. My tastes and views are like a hodge podge of things I’ve read and seen, a paper here, and artist’s statement there, so it’s hard to gather lmao. But here’s some off the top of my head (might be long, sorry!):

Honestly the blog @997 has done more to shape and expand my ideas on art and aesthetics than any other, been following for years and has a special place in my heart

For queer theory:

The Xenofeminist Manifesto: A Politics for Alienation had a major impact in opening me up to ideas of abstraction, cunning, and scale in politics. It’s part of a broader left accelerationist/postcapitalist movement that I’m still one of those annoying people who likes what it has/had to say lol. This one is great, with absolute banger lines like “let a thousand sexes bloom!” and “if nature is unjust, change nature!”

Deadly and Slick: Sexual Modernity and the Making of Race is a more recent read, and does an amazing job talking about how the regulation of sexuality is intimately tied with the creation of race and its hierarchies, using colonial and postcolonial India and the UK as its focus.

The Penetrated Male by Jonathan Kemp is an amazing book on the anus(a subject I’m kinda obsessed with), specifically examining the anus and penetration beyond discourses on being penetrated as feminine and anal eroticism as pathology. If you’re into Wilde, Lacan, and Baudelaire, this is the book for you for anal examinations on them.

The Straight Mind by Monique Wittig is an injection of dialectics into examinations of sexuality, feminism, and power. Her rendering of sex as socially constructed and of lesbianism presents radical feminist politics without the biological essentialism by interpreting the idea that the proletariat is a class that advocates for its own abolition through a feminist and lesbian lens.

As for art:

More Brilliant Than the Sun: Adventures in Sonic Fiction is both written beautifully in that classic cyberpunk neologism style and offers a great critique on “authenticity” and “realism” as necessary components of good music through an examination of a lot of afrofuturist artists and advocates for alienation and abstraction as a way of breaking from dull “authenticity”

Who’s Afraid of Contemporary Art? by Jessica Cerasi and Kyung An is a good introduction to contemporary art for someone intimidated/unsure how they feel about it. I read it in one sitting when my car was stuck in the mechanics for three hours and I couldn’t leave haha

Maya Lin: Systematic Landscapes by Maya Lin and Richard Andrews. Maya Lin is mostly known for her memorials but her non-monument sculptural work is even better. Hearing her explain her craft and different interpretations of her work was really exciting.

Vienna Actionism: Art and Upheaval in 1960’s Vienna. I’m a sucker for Actionism, and this was an amazing book on the subject with insightful essays, photos, and descriptions of the performances that were held.

The journal e-flux and the website monoskop have changed my life to, amazing libraries of texts.

This is long but I hope it helps!!

was supposed to do a grind of a book and at least 1k words written but H had a terrible day the past couple days and i needed to be there for her so it kinda came first. i think tomorrow on the train imma do my best to read some of hackers on monoskop and on Monday ill write straight thru from lunch time until 4… and that way those three tasks can still get done . idk life is getting more balanced with my realisations on what actually brings me joy, but it also makes it more complicated because i have to reorganise my time for new and more powerful priorities. we will see how this next week goes . the problem with this project is that it is not linear by nature or finite by nature, which makes the idea of writing very scary. but as it has been with every other piece, the only remedy is the act of it itself. this project has made me realize that i am such an anxious planner and i try to foresee every single difficulty i might encounter and when those possibilities pile up and start to seem insurmountable i just get paralysed into reading reading reading. Reading is great to double check yourself but it’s no point doing for too long if you’re trying to develop your own voice. Jesus Christ man, im gonna need more time but there just isn’t that much time. For anything . and now we need to do this degree show thing which takes up a day of my week -_- girl I am trying to have both a present and a future. Leave me alone
