Title IX


An industrial scaffolding structure stands against a white gallery wall, topped with large illuminated marquee letters spelling “TITLE.” Two additional lit letters, “I” and “X,” sit on wheeled platforms below, with orange electrical cords visible on the floor.   A long, narrow sheet of wood veneer with a triangular notch cut out of the end hangs from metal scaffolding. Orange extension cords lie coiled on the floor.Two illuminated marquee letters, “I” and “X,” glow on small wheeled platforms beneath metal scaffolding in a gallery space. Orange extension cords lay across the wooden floor.
Rendered in theatrical marquee letters, and balanced precariously on and underneath scaffolding, Title IX appears both in the process of construction and deconstruction.  The Act, famously and infamously responsible for equitable access for women and girls to play sports, and for addressing sexual violence on college campuses, has also become a tool to harass feminist and queer educators, and to persecute trans women and girl athletes.
