KING GUISE
Call for visual/ digital / photographic images of self-identified,of 'Color' Drag Kings, Genderqueers, Male Impersonators, Masculine Impressionist, Studs, FtMs, Butches and related trans- identitiesfor proposed coffee table book. This collection of images and accompanying text will focus on andexplore the act of putting on masculinity / man / he / h?m.Special consideration for 'action images' depicting the putting on, taking off, performance or 'captured desire' of the 'masculinized-self.' King Guise will use critical inquiry to investigate the process and execution of these transformationsand the eventual outcome, if any, of public display andinteraction. Thru dialogue with actual image 'recorders,'the subjects/objects themselves and the voyeurs drawn to theseparticular 'looks,' King Guise will delve into the murky paletteof 'gendered desire and play,' with particular attentiongiven to the operation and influence of cultural, racial andregional 'ethics/values/norms.'All submissions, commentary and visual submissions shall be fullyconsidered.
