Vaginal Davis is one of those artists whose relationship with the art world seems to have ebbed and flowed over the years. Perhaps this is because the work of the queercore icon, poet, performer, and writer consists to a great extent of zines, blog posts, and ephemera that are hard to value capture. Film scholar Marc Siegel refers to the artist as an “organic intellectual” of the queer scene; the term that feels apposite to the singularity of a trajectory that extends beyond contemporary art to the social, literary, and nightlife worlds.
