Perform

Sexual performance

People count, measure, compare, boast and worry about sexual performance in their relationships. This generates a lot of literature, from scientific research to self-help.

Performing sexuality

People also perform gender and sexuality through their behavior, clothing, and other expressions, and share insightful interpretations on the stage. We have programs, tickets, publicity, and photographs of many creative performances on sexual themes.

Performers and artists

Below is a publicity pamphlet for white gay performance artist Chasen Gaver. Can you find his baby picture elsewhere in this exhibition? Chasen was part of the collective Black and White Artists Together in Washington, DC, a photo of the group shown here.
