Remote Castration is a group exhibition that reflects on the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements and how they resonate with trajectories of feminist thought in contemporary art. The exhibition’s title is derived from a piece of graffiti–spotted in L.A. in fall of 2017–that serves as both provocation and barometer for a collective consciousness operating around gender and power today. While marking a paradigm shift in outdated systems of authority, the present outing of sexual misconduct and abuse of power (on a scale and frequency unlike any before) has raised important questions around social behavior, sexuality, ethics, truth, desire, repression, language, selfhood, and privilege. Remote Castration rubs all around these terms.Artists include: John Altoon, Nancy Buchanan, Kathryn Garcia, Daniel T. Gaitor-Lomack, Jenny Holzer, Nova Jiang, Paul McCarthy, Jahni Moore, Sue Williams, Benjamin Weissman
