Minerva Ayón: A queer assemblage
Main Article Content
Abstract
This analysis addresses most representative aspects of Minerva Ayón's artistic practice, which is a manifestation of body, gender, and desire in time. Her work denies traditional aesthetic principles of representational art by experimenting with contemporary materials that can be appreciate like assemblages. This analysis is framed in material feminism and establishes a debate between the notion of sculptural assemblage and philosophical assemblage based on the concept of agency developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. This relationship makes it possible to disrupt the territories of the masculine and the feminine to develop this artist’s work as a way of “queering” and defying different kinds of borders —social and temporal borders as well as borders linked to media and identities.
