Gina

Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

Doing Your Dirty Work: A call for art at CSC - May 15 deadline
Submit submit submit to this, visual artist friends! Last year’s show was stellar!

Doing Your Dirty Work: a sampler of contemporary art about sex
Open to Artists in the United States

“Doing Your Dirty Work” is the second annual group exhibition at the Center for Sex and Culture in San Francisco, California. We invite all artists that are at least 18 years old to submit recent artwork that deals with themes of sexuality, sexual identity and gender identity. Please do not censor yourself. Nothing is too dirty! Nothing is too perverse!

The Center for Sex and Culture Gallery aims to provide space for artwork of significant merit that addresses sexuality and sexual identity, especially outsider or minority sexual identity. Too often mainstream art spaces self-censor or are afraid of sexual content. Too often the standard of artistic merit in sexuality community spaces is disappointingly low. Erotic art exhibitions are too often heavily hetero, cis, or white centric. CSC Gallery makes bridging these divides and providing a solution to these shortcomings its mission.

Jurors: Dorian Katz, CSC Curator and Marlene Hoeber, CSC Director of Collections

Submissions are due at midnight Friday, May 15th, 2013. The show will be from Friday July 5^th through Friday, August 30^th.

"Awash in Bodies" opens at the Center for Sex & Culture Friday night! :)
My dear friend Jos Truitt is so talented it almost hurts. I am unbelievably proud of her for putting on this show. Come out to the Center for Sex & Culture on Friday night to see her take on The Little Mermaid as a trans fairytale. I’ve had the extreme pleasure of getting up close & personal with this work already (and even seeing some of it in progress! Being friends with a printmaker is COOL, y’all!). It is gorgeous, eerie, brave, intense, sexy, funny, and very, very smart. Not unlike the artist. ;)

I have hands and mind and the will. If need be, I have guns and knives and boots and bricks and I know where to get torches and pitchforks. All of these things I have are for you, because I refuse to remember you next year. You will still be here. I insist.

You are quiet and I have not heard enough from you lately. I hope you are ok. Are they mistreating you? Are you mistreating yourself? I have a comfortable couch and quiet conversation and a glass of brandy and a bowl of soup and a loud laugh. These things too are all for you, because. I insist.
