Catalogue of Vaginal Davis’s first major solo exhibition and the first extensive publication on the multifaceted work of the gender-queer-art-music icon.
Welcome to the wondrous world of American artist, filmmaker, performer and writer Vaginal Davis. In her pioneering and incredibly diverse oeuvre, punk meets glamour, queer activism meets racial justice and resistance meets joy. An icon of contemporary queer history, Vaginal Davis has made scenes for a living since the early 1980s. Naming herself after radical Black feminist Angela Davis, Vaginal Davis emerged in the queer punk scene of Los Angeles in the 1980s and moved to Berlin in the early 2000s. “Magnificent Product” is Vaginal Davis’s first major solo exhibition and this is the first extensive publication on her work.
