'Performing Sexualities charts the disruption which occurs when performance confronts theories of sexuality and sexual identity, reflecting on the questions of how and why we use theory.

'Where are we heading with contemporary art? Crossing the boundaries of exhibition, conference and performance art, this publication is a definitive exploration of this question — especially as it relates to the unsettling terrain between theory and performance.

'Performing Sexualities highlights the new challenges which face writing, dancing, installation and technological works, detailing the critical art practices of a number of contemporary Australian women featured at the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane, in June 1994.' (from front book flap)
