Lisa Robertson reviews The Body Project, a series of performances, lectures and gallery shows held at the Basic Inquiry Centre for Figurative Arts. The project was devised by visual artist and Centre director Derek Simons and SFU Communications department doctoral candidate Richard Pinet who aimed to merge art and critical thought, bringing artists and academics together to challenge the critical versus creative paradigm of cultural production, particularly focused on ideas and representations of the body.

Roberston looks at various performances and art works, including Kiss & Tell collective's True Inversions, a multi-media and performance peice that includes Lorna Boschman's video of the same name. For Roberts, this was one of the few pieces that succeeds in showcasing the hybrid potentials of intertwining critical and descriptive methodology.
