In her brief but impactful career, Chicago artist Christina Ramberg ruptured representations of gender. Whether in early work featuring the ahistorical, often abstracted female body or in her eventual depictions of a more disregulated, deconstructed body, willfully ungendered or regendered, Ramberg questioned and dissected the gender conventions that defined both her time and ours.
In this exploration of Ramberg’s work, artist and author Riva Lehrer discusses Ramberg’s artistic production through the lenses of disability activism, gender queerness, monster theory, and the creative process.
