Overview
In 1971, American conceptual artist Lee Lozano began her Boycott Piece, refusing to speak to women as a protest against patriarchy; in 1975, French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan stated, "La femme n'existe pas" to note the failure of the symbolic order. Vanessa Place's Boycott Project (of which Boycott is part) takes iconic feminist texts and eliminates all reference to women and that which is exclusively female. For only through the sex that is one can one fully grasp the truth that one is not born, but rather becomes, one--l'on qui ne s'existe pas. "Vanessa Place's arresting poetic imagination always makes it genuinely New! This, her latest 'Book of Surprises' will make you laugh, weep, nod in agreement (or disbelief), but, most of all, it will make you THINK." --Marjorie Perloff
