>CALL FOR WORK
>
>To imagine that there are only two sexes - M & F - is
an absurdity.
>There are at least 1000 sexes. The daily lived
reality of
>transgender and intersexual people (and gay, lesbian,
queer and all
>other people, for that matter) proves this over and
over again, yet
>many people continue to operate as if 'M' and 'F' are
the only
>sexes, the only options, the only expressions, the
only goals, the
>only way ("the way it is").
>
>Help us imagine 1000 more sexes. Describe them,
imagine them, invent
>them, publish them, use them, realize them, perform
them.
>
>A Thousand Tiny Sexes is an art-book-research-action
project to
>collect and publish 1000 proposals for TINY SEXES
which are not Male
>or Female. We are setting out to collect a thousand
more sexes -
>imaginary ones, as-yet-unrealized ones, or real ones-
in the hopes
>that these one thousand might make for one thousand
more after that.
>In so doing, we hope to contribute to a collective
reimagining of
>sex as a legal, biological, political, economic,
cultural, and
>political category.

entirely reimagine
>sex as a biological, cultural, political, and social
category.

>IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING ABOUT THE TITLE
>
>"If we consider the great binary aggregates, such as
the sexes or
>classes, it is evident that they also cross over into
molecular
>assemblages of a different nature, and that there is
a double
>reciprocal dependency between them. For the two sexes
imply a
>multiplicity of molecular combinations bringing into
play not only
>the man in the woman and the woman in the man, but
the relation of
>each to the animal, the plant, etc.: a thousand tiny
sexes."
>(Deleuze and Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus).
>
>"There is nothing about a binary gender system that
is given."
>(Judith Butler, Undoing Gender)
