The transformation taking place, in the body, in society
transformation, out of the body, out of the boundary, out of binary
a glass of construct has broken,
to break free,
out of prescribed world, by word, by rigid form, by norm, nonsense
out of prison, into the light
An argument of Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto is "for pleasure in the confusion of boundaries and for responsibility in their construction. Imaging a world without gender, which is perhaps a world without genesis, but maybe a world without end."
NFT Biennial x Vellum LA x UnicornDAO presents “POSTGENDER”. The exhibition aims to bring forth conversations about postgenderism between artists, collectives, curators and audiences.
POSTGENDER runs January 26 - February 12, 2023 at Vellum LA. Artworks will be presented on state-of-the-art LED Luma Canvas displays, and powered by Tezos.
Human after all. A collective of creatives moves past the paradigm of defined terminology into a transhumanist manifesto. We are the new undefined state of gender, one that presents fluid utopic dynamics in shaping oneness. What if we, as a culture, moved past traditional gender roles into new states of identity? What would we call it?
As technology and art pave the way for our identities which thrive in safe spaces beyond our physical bodies into celestial realms of avatar gender bending sources. We are anything we wish to be. The exhibition explores what it means for us as a collective of progressive individuals to develop a new language to overcome the paradigms of archaic gendered narratives.
The exhibition invites local and global audiences alike to engage with their practices through a physical exhibition at Vellum LA on Melrose and digitally through the NFT Biennial Metaverse.
