descubriendo a effy beth y su cuerpo de obra y de repente pensando si el año que viene mi tesis de diseño la hago sobre performers travas
Que el mundo tiemble Cuerpo y performance en la obra de Effy Beth Edulp, La Plata, 2018, 3ra ed Matías Máximo compilador 372 paginas ; 14 x 20 cm ; encuadernación rústica con solapas (tapa blanda) de la contratapa: "Effy Beth se apoyó en el arte performático para construir su afirmación identitaria transexual. Estudió cine, artes, guión, escribió, pintó y relizó intervenciones públicas disruptivas frente al binomio heterosexual, donde la fórmula obra/espectador se disputaba y la comodidad no era lo corriente. Pasó su infancia en Israel y vivió hasta su muerte, a los 25 años, en Buenos Aires, lugar en el que se centraron sus performances y reclamos, que fueron compartidos en varias partes del mundo. "Artista conceptual, performática y feminista queer", se dijo Effy. A lo largo de sus producciones se puede ver una y otra vez el paso al acto, casi sin filtro, de una obra chocante, donde la literalidad de los sentidos es excusa para dar respuestas muchas veces incómodas. Entonces, la vemos en una habitación llena de globos para decir que se siente asfixiada, mezclando su menstruación de mujer trans con cera y depilándose, cortándose los brazos, raspándose la panza, corriendo desnuda por la universidad, ofreciendo sexo oral y dando en cambio historias de mujeres ultrajadas. Este libro reúne obras y fotos de su archivo, además de textos y fotografías de persoans que la acompañaron en su intenso camino de producción."
YOU WILL NEVER BE A WOMAN
“Someone once told me, that even if you feel like a woman, and your tits grow, and you take hormones, and you operate on your genitals, you will never be a woman because you don’t menstruate so you don’t know what being a woman means.”

Bring Your Own Body: Transgender Between Archives and Aesthetics, currently on view at the Cooper Union, illustrates not just the multiplicity of transgender identities but the many forms of expression those identities take. While the mainstream media, obsessed with celebrities instead of everyday people, continues to show a narrow, unified vision of transgender identity, the exhibition portrays the struggles of transgender artists to find their own narratives. Taking its title from an unpublished manuscript by intersex pioneer Lynn Harris, Bring Your Own Body traces a history of what it means to be transgender, with objects from the Kinsey Institute archives and the Transgender Archives at the University of Victoria in dialogue with contemporary artworks.

Meet Artist Effy Beth
In any community where cisgender predominates, trans people are either excluded or included by the group who enjoys the most privilege. And that’s a problem. Also, I don’t think any sexual orientation, gender identity, or sexual condition guarantees that a person will be open-minded or free of prejudices. For example, in my comics, I illustrated the time when a gay man did not understand why I dress in women’s clothing if I also like women, and he suggested I see a therapist. According to him, bisexuality did not exist and is merely a stage of confusion.
