Locating the Queer Gesture: Point and Line to Flesh
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this thesis, I seek to articulate queerness as an embodied politic and poetic of disorientation I call the gesture, which I locate within the works and my encounters with Agnes Martin, Marlow Moss, and Catherine Opie. Here, through both visual analysis, critical theory, embodied experience and its memory, I illuminate queer aspects and potentialities of encounters with works of art not through indicting the body of viewer (myself), the artists I discuss, nor the particular aesthetics of their works towards the production of a stable archive, but rather through the ephemeral and disorienting encounters of identification both found and challenged in the works of art I discuss. In my methodology, I seek to maintain a poetic posture of opacity and respect the refusal I locate in these works and in myself, as I engage auto theory. My thesis seeks to articulate queerness as a plurality of strategy and embodiment, through describing my experiences and analyses of the works of Agnes Martin, Marlow Moss, and Catherine Opie—three artists who mean a great deal to me, as a queer subject.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
