In this art-based lecture, Michael V. Smith presents a retrospective of his body-based creative work. Smith has made a career examining how bodies are read, misread or re-read. This Body Is a Gift explores ways in which art can (de)construct gender as a functional tool for undoing, unseeing, unbecoming. Inspired by the work of artists Leigh Bowery and Cindy Sherman, Michael V. Smith up-ends the everyday to complicate what is a freak and who is familiar.
