Jimmy De Sana (November 12, 1949 – July 27, 1990) was an American artist, and a key figure in the East Village punk art scene of the 1970s and 1980s. De Sana's photography has been described as "anti-art" in its approach to capturing images of the human body, in a manner ranging from "savagely explicit to purely symbolic".  William S. Burroughs wrote the introduction to his collection of photographs Submission which was self-published in 1980.

NY Woman — Anita Steckel, 1973

"While several critics condemned her work as pornographic, Steckel used erotic imagery to illustrate heterosexual female desire and provide her own interpretation of previous art featuring nudity, especially art by men featuring women. In her “Giant Woman” series, a nude female figure confidently treks through New York City, even hanging from the Empire State building."

SAY IT TO MY FACE - Performance Documentation (4 mins)

  SAY IT TO MY FACE is a 40 minute long endurance performance by transsexual artist Odofemi (Morgan M Page). Exploring her experience as the target of multiple transphobic hate websites and petitions created by radical feminists, Odofemi stands naked at the front of a room. Projected onto her body is video footage of the hate websites. Audience members are instructed to approach the artist, where they are given a piece of paper with one of the actual comments on it. They are told to read it aloud, into the microphone, and then look Odofemi in the eyes. Odofemi moves as little as possible and does not react. Eventually the audience realizes that they have become implicated in perpetuating both the artist’s and their own trauma, and retaliates by giving the artist improvised positive affirmations, effectively reclaiming their agency.
