ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

Breyer P-Orridge (also known as Genesis P-Orridge) and life partner Lady Jaye (recently deceased), have garnered attention in recent years by undergoing medical procedures to eliminate their physical differences. "One of the central themes of our work is the malleability of physical and behavioral identity," they explain, giving rise to their merged identity. The two hope to create a new gender, the pandrogyne, a hermaphroditic entity called Breyer P-Orridge. New York Story is a fictional recreation of Genesis and Lady Jaye's life and art practice. Nicolas Jenkins (a.k.a. Sterile Cowboys & Co.), is a filmmaker and former underground warehouse party promoter based in New York City. His short films and videos have been shown extensively across North America and Europe.
