I am pleased to announce that Performance is Alive reached another milestone by presenting it's first Artist Feature. This week we hear from Alexandra Zierle & Paul Carter (Zierle & Carter). The performance pair presents durational works that investigate relationships, interconnectivity and at times, ritual. 

The Performance is Alive Artist Feature includes a Q&A with the artists exploring critical notions of their practice, personal insight on their collaborative approach and a list of influential artists. 

Check out the full article here.

New Site: Performance Is Alive

11/15/2014

0 Comments

 
After recently being asked to prove that performance art isn't dead and exclusive, I decided to create a website devoted entirely to presenting performance artists working TODAY.  I hope you enjoy the site and discover new performance artists that are creating work that you find personally meaningful. 

The performance art community is truly incredible and I am honored to be a part of it.

Human Wind

Today I embark on a new series of performance works. Human Wind  is a collective performance within Brooklyn community. I imagine that the geographic scope of this project will expand but for now, it is occurring in my back yard (so to speak). 

The intent? To record the sound of the wind emitted from volunteers. Together we will create a human wind orchestra. If you are interested in becoming a part of the project please email or message me here. 

As always, thank you for your generous support. Q

So many updates for 2013!

I have been working for months on re-designing my site and I am delighted to share my new online identity with you! 2013 has been an incredibly busy year. I have attempted  to re-cap as much as possible below.

In February 2013, I began working closely with Jill McDermid, director and co-founder of Grace Exhibition Space, to organize their first benefit event. During the benefit we also introduced GES reMembership option. All very exciting additions to the ambitious programming already instituted by Jill.

I edited the teaser video for the event and Keller created the epic score.

In March 2013, we kicked off the inaugural dB Visual Artist Series at Dungeon Beach. The incredibly innovative artists, Blake Carrington and Matthew Farina presented their work as a part of the first series.

In May 2013, I began preparing the design media, marketing and PR needed for Grace Exhibition Space's exciting programming for the first annual Brooklyn International Performance Art Festival (BIPAF).

In JULY 2013, GES presented international performance artists every Friday evening. Guillermo Gomez Pena, Ron Athey, VestAndPage, W Christiawan and Rocio Boliver were among a few of the performers throughout the month.
