XXXora : The Newer Gender (Talk and FREE DRINKS reception)

XXXora will be giving a talk about her paintings and prints in this special FREE DRINKS reception, on THURSDAY 21st June 6-9pm.

Coming to London via Madrid, XXXora presents her debut solo exhibition, The Newer Gender, at East London’s Vyner Street Gallery from 14-24 June.

Gleefully dancing on the borders of sex and gender, XXXora is an Anglo-Spanish, bilingual, hermaphrodite artist with an impressive performance career having been awarded a prize at the New York Independent Film Festival.

XXXora’s charismatic and seductive personality and her work are closely connected. Her image is unforgettable – jet black hair, deep red lips, her face half-covered by a silver mask crowned by a unicorn’s horn – and her art owes as much to transgender and feminist theory as to Andy Warhol, Georgia O'Keeffe and the Dadaists. At the opening party on 14 June, masked performance artists – including XXXora herself – will confront the audience with the the third gender, even serving drinks as they take the crowd into a world where gender and sex are never less than powerful political and aesthetic tools.
