Zackary Drucker is an American trans artist whose work in a wide variety of mediaâfrom performance art, to video, to installation work, to photographyâis emblematic of the artistic hybridity that characterizes contemporary visual artists. This artist's visit and screening will feature Drucker's collaboration with Rhys Ernst, She Gone Rogue, which was recently exhibited in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. As an associate producer for the Golden Globe-winning series Transparent, Drucker is an exciting new voice in mainstream American media as well. Her work is funny, critical, disturbing, and provocative, challenging normative ways of doing and representing gender, and in She Gone Rogue, this material is put in dialogue with a history of trans feminine people, practices, and revolutionaries. Drucker's videos are largely inaccessible outside of galleries or screenings, and this screening places She Gone Rogue in the context of several of Drucker's earlier short pieces. The screening will be followed by a brief talk by the artist, a Q & A session, and a reception.
This event is being curated by Nicole Erin Morse, a PhD student in Cinema and Media Studies, and it is supported by the Film Studies Center's Graduate Curatorial Grant, the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality's Counter Cinema / Counter Media Project, The Office of LGBTQ Student Life, and the Karla Scherer Center for the Study of American Culture.
