Genesis Breyer P-Orridge left s/her body today, 14th March 2020

14th March 2020, 4:51 pm

Gen seen here is magickally transported to their first ever exhibition in LA, “Pandrogeny”.

S/he will be laid to rest with Jacqueline ‘Lady Jaye’ Breyer where they will be re-united.

We started out, because we were so crazy in love, just wanting to eat each other up, to become each other and become one. And as we did that, we started to see that it was affecting us in ways that we didn’t expect. Really, we were just two parts of one whole; the pandrogyne was the whole and we were each other’s other half.


First West Coast Exhibition | Through 24th November

Dual Exhibition

Pandrogeny I
is at Lethal Amounts
and showcases Breyer P-Orridge’s evolution of gender work.

Pandrogeny II
is at Tom of Finland Foundation
 and is a survey of h/er artwork from 1986 – 2016.

Both spaces will explore the many facets of Breyer P-Orridge’s art and h/er influence through a selection of paintings, photos, sculptures and installations, that will reveal the ways that gender has shaped the artist and h/er work particularly with the project Pandrogeny (which started in 1995) with other half (dominatrix, registered nurse, performance artist, and musician) Jacqueline Breyer—aka “Lady Jaye”. In July 2019 s/he received the Kamookak Medal from the Royal Canadian Geographical Society for her explorations on projects in popular and social culture and gender geography.

Some people feel they are a man trapped in a woman’s body.
Some people feel they are a woman trapped in a man’s body.
A pandrogyne just feels trapped in a body.
