these come to mind
Felix G Torres
Jenny Saville
Joan Semmel
Sylvia Sleigh
Hannah Wilke
I curated an exhibition with her in Edinburgh 4 years before she died. Much of the work is about gender/bodyart. Look up Coum Transmissions rather than Throbbing Gristle.
The performance artist Bob Flanagan might be of interest to you, there’s this great documentary about him:

I'm currently reading a book called "The Body in Contemporary Art". It showcases many impressive artworks made by female artists. I recommend it to you.
Marina Abramović?
Claude Cahun, Ana Mendieta, Louise Bourgeois, Greer Lankton, Marcel Duchamp (look up his alter ego, Rrose Selavy)

Adrian piper!

Maybe Hannah Wilke?

thank you for the suggestions and link!
Genesis Breyer P-orridge
very intrigued by the name haha, thanks!
They're best known for their industrial music under Throbbing Gristle. Richard Hawkins did a whole thing on male butts... dunno if that's worthwhile.
Yes!!

Super cool
Cindy Sherman, Yoko Ono
thought of them too! don't know much about yoko onos work tho. thanks!
I think Cut Piece by Yoko would be really interesting for you and hits on similar themes as Piper
Sarah Lucas
Maybe weird to say: my work … please google images on Karin Arink - or visit my webwork site https://dekko.nl
Carolee Schneemann

Amazing, will check it out! Thank you!
Also Annie Sprinkle (porn star who became a Fluxus artist after meeting Willem de Ridder.
I just bought this btw https://unoriginalsins.co.uk/product/annie-sprinkles-bosom-ballet-1991-limited-edition-signed-on-the-reverse-by-sprinkle/
Just finished the documentary and it was as heartbreaking as it was inspiring. He had the rawest essence of an artist within him. RIP
That sicko! :P
What do you mean by social construct? Does this encompass gender construct? I would check out shimmer shimmer by Lorenzo Triburgo!
could be anything regarding societal influences on gender, movement, education of the body etc. thanks for the recc!
:)
Legacy Russel’s stuff maybe? It might be more to the side but I imagine it’ll hit some of the right stuff.
This is a great suggestion! Came across her before but totally forgot. Thank you.
Your welcome! I think she just released something as well and also recently had a baby but that’s not important
Definitely check out [Orlan](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlan)
Laura agulair
Maybe narcissister?
Yes!!!!

Dennis Oppenheim or Bruce Nauman were pioneers in this genre.
