PLUGS, PORES, WALLS AND LURES

Doris Boerman''s series of sculptures titled ''Plugs, Pores, Walls and Lures'' responds to the practice of self-design as a form of mass occupation, common identity, and pseudo-individuality in popular culture. The series addresses the feminine as a
commercially constructed value, as well as the normative female body and its role in (art) history. This publication presents the series along with three accompanying texts by fashion researcher Femke de Vries, lesbian activist and poet Joelle Sambi,
and visual artist and writer Timmy van Zoelen. The contributions respond to Boerman''s series through a wide range of topics and create a relevant network for further deliberation.
