DeGenevieve was a radical art educator known for her provocative methods, including destroying her own work in class and hosting unconventional critiques. One of her daring courses was called Body Language, known informally as Porn 101, and required participants to sign waivers. Her classes blended intellectual rigor with a cheeky irreverence, drawing on theories from influential philosophers and presenting works that oscillated between high art and camp. Even years after her passing, her legacy evokes stories of humor and disbelief, illustrating her impact on students and the art community.
"She hosted marathon critiques at her house that lasted all night and occasionally turned boozy, everyone avoiding the fact that the only bathroom in the place had no door."
"DeGenevieve was a provocateur, but she was also a rigorous thinker... Her syllabi are a roll call of heavyweights: Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Jack Halberstam."
