The Hole Picture: An Intergenerational Dialogue on Erotics and Porn in Lesbian-Feminist Queer Cinema
A screening and talk featuring Barbara Hammer, A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner
Saturday March 26th, screening 15h, panel 17:30h
Issue Project Room, At the Old American Can Factory
232 3rd Street, 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, NY

The feminist reception and production of pornography has had a complicated trajectory, a discourse of representation often bound by the logic of the male gaze. The Hole Picture brings together a selection of socio-sexual films & videos by artists Barbara Hammer, A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner that celebrate desire and redefine notions of queer sexuality and the lesbian body. Presenting a multigenerational overview of representation, this screening and panel discussion will focus on contemporary artistic practices which incorporate avant-garde visions of sexuality and erotics, dissecting the trope of pornography itself. Screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmakers, moderated by art historian Kelly Dennis, author of Art/Porn: A History of Seeing and Touching.
