 Synopsis: The Guggenheim's classic study of photo-based artworks that question gender identity is back in print at last. This important volume, whose title combines Gertrude Stein's famous motto, "Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose," with the name of Marcel Duchamp's feminine alter ego, Rrose Selavy, features portraits, self-portraits and photomontages in which the gender of the subject is highlighted through performance for the camera or through technical manipulation of the image. In many of the works, photography's strong aura of realism and objectivity promotes a fantasy of total gender transformation. In other pieces, the photographic representation articulates an incongruity between the posing body and its assumed costume. Features work by Cecil Beaton, Brassa‘, Claude Cahun, Marcel Duchamp, Hannah Hàch, Man Ray, Janine Antoni, Matthew Barney, Nan Goldin, Lyle Ashton Harris, Robert Mapplethorpe, Annette Messager, Yasumasa Morimura, Catherine Opie, Lucas Samaras, Cindy Sherman, Inez van Lamsweerde and Andy Warhol

Biography construction

It's all about YOU!  .... in the third person, of course! Bios should be short and concise, listing only relevant information.   They should not be more than 150 words. Avoid listing personal statistics, such as family and hobbies; instead angle the bio to the intended audience, whether for a personal website or a professional networking website. Remain professional in all the information you put out there!   This is often the first impression you will make to your potential reviewers, critics, collectors, employers and the like!  Begin the bio by introducing yourself , and always write in the third person.  For example, write "Jen Pepper is a visual artist" rather than "I am a visual artist."  State your area of academic and studio art concentration.   Do you have a double major?  A Minor?  State these.   State your expected year of graduation of your Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, May 2018  and list ...
