Skit: Gender galaxies

I went to go see Muse an art exhibit asking questions about gender. It is a reinterpretation of famous pieces of art done by male painters of female subjects. The reinterpretation  photos taken by a female photographer with a male model posed and dressed very effeminate. The most credible being man with pearl earring. What I liked about this reinterpretation is they took paintings by male artist that made the female subjects look submissive. Most of them are paintings of women in various states of undress or posed provocatively. Painted by men of women for men. Very reminiscent of porn. This  reinterpretation asks the questionwhat is female what is male? How are they represented differently through art? What does it look like when a woman depicts a man? Who has the power in that situation. What is it like for a man to take on female subjects through different lenses of re-exploring gender? I am a little disappointed though because I feel like instead of making the man submissive that in the photos he got to be very empowering. There are many different ways of interpreting that. For he is suppose to be embodying the female subjects and representing them. Taking on this effeminate character. The photos are also suppose to destroy the idea that gender the line with male and female at opposite ends. Rather gender exist in a galaxy in a four dimensional space. The axis being masculinity, femininity, time, and difference.  If you look at the photos in that sense in the empowerment is necessary.  It wouldn't question societies treatment of genderqueer people to paint them submissively. Since this installment is primarily about asking questions I've devised a couple. Throughout the process what was the power dynamic? Getting into character to pose for the photos what gender do you feel you identified with if any? What did you
learn and or learn to question about gender doing this installment? What intersexual identities came up as you worked on the different pieces?
