Renee Rabbit, Private Detective, slowly and very deliberately read the ransom note again that had just been hand delivered by messenger and wondered why it had been sent to her because she didn't have any friends, or relatives, that had been kidnapped recently or for that matter at any other time but if they had been where on earth was she supposed to get that amount of cash from and that's when her inner thoughts, brain box, memory, and panic had their say.
Renee Rabbit, Private Detective is what it said on her brand spanking new private detective's office door because that's what she was, a brand new private detective and all she wanted to do was help every animal that had been thrown aside by the bears in blue who could care less about finding those who fell through the cracks of the so-called legal system but she was determined to put that right if it was the last thing she'd ever do but the only problem was that she didn't have any clients, but that was about to change.
Renee Rabbit, Private Detective re-read the advert she'd put in her local evening paper for an assistant and general dog's body and suspiciously eyed her first and only applicant and then asked the simplest of simple questions, 'what's your name' 'Baldy Bane, ' was the sarcastic reply he, the miniature baboon, fired back and before Renee could say another word the miniature baboon added, 'and before you ask, because I know that's what you were about to do, yes my Dad does have a warped sense of humour but beggars can't be choosers, so when do I start' and it was the when do I start part that really annoyed Renee's inner thoughts
In 1975, at the age of forty, Richard Raskind, a renowned eye surgeon and highly ranked amateur tennis player, "died," and Renée Richards was "born," in what was to become the most public and highly scrutinized sex reassignment to date. It was not until Renée Richards was discovered playing in an amateur tennis tournament that the world took notice. Extensive media coverage and criticism thrust Renée reluctantly into the spotlight, sparking an intense public debate over her private life. Now, at seventy-two, Richards looks back and speaks frankly about all aspects of her complicated and often notorious life in this eye-opening, thought-provoking memoir. Richards' honest and compelling narrative explores the dichotomy between the successful life she lived as Dr. Richard Raskind, who seemed to have everything (devoted friends, a beautiful wife and son, a stellar record of academic and professional achievement, and outstanding athletic ability), and a secret life of struggle with a drive that could not be suppressed, even by years of psychotherapy and the force of a considerable will. Richards takes readers through her difficult decision to undergo surgery and the complex mixture of relief and continued frustration that came with the realization of her new identity. Discussing life after her transformation, Richards candidly relates the details, trials, and pleasures of her romantic life as well as fascinating stories about her tennis career, including her experiences as Martina Navratilova's coach. She also provides an intimate account of her difficult but rewarding relationship with her rebellious son: runaway teenager, high-stakes Vegas gambler, karate champion, and entrepreneur. She describes the deterioration of a once-loving marriage and the challenges of reclaiming her place at the forefront of her demanding medical specialty. Having lived as a woman almost as long as she lived as a man, Richards draws on a personal history that illuminates thirty years of remarkable change in society's attitude toward gender issues. Her absorbing and inspiring story, at once heartbreaking and uplifting, is a testimony to how far we have progressed in our ability to discuss and accept sexuality in all its iterations, as well as a reminder of how far we still must travel.
Colorful, subversive, symbolic and challenging, Green's series such as Color and Space Poems are the subject of this scholarly publication featuring an intervention by the artist The first comprehensive US monograph on American artist Renée Green (born 1959) provides a foundational introduction to the artist's practice and addresses critical gaps in existing scholarship. In her uniquely recursive process, Green juxtaposes a range of materials—archival, documentary and literary fragments, personal and found ephemera, speculative narratives and her own extant work—to probe the unstable boundaries between fact and fiction, public recollection and personal memory. Essays situate Green within key historical influences and periods, including lineages of Conceptual art and institutional critique; examine Green's significant contributions to artistic milieus and discourses of the 1990s; and investigate various formal aspects of the work. In addition to a rich suite of installation shots from her Dia Beacon show, the book also features a visual intervention and response to the book's contents by the artist.
