investigations into contemporary feminism
This
project is a long-term, wide-ranging, and interdisciplinary
collaborative project with artist and writer Jen Kennedy. Our
website, www.contemporaryfeminism.com,
details at length our various works, from performances, installations,
publications, and public interventions. The website is one
further way we
publicly explore what "feminism" signifies today, an inquiry that forms
the basis of all instantiations of the project.
For information on upcoming
projects, PDFs of our publications, installation photos of past works,
our interactive online forum, press, and more, please see our website or email us
directly at contact@contemporaryfeminism.com.
the Cartoons
series
This is an ongoing body of work in which I re-caption images from The New York Times using a sentence
or phrase taken directly from the article to which the image
corresponds. I do not alter either the image or the text – my
intervention highlights an already existing relationship.
I have included a small selection of Cartoons
below. Contact me to see the complete series.

This sculpture changes each time it
is made, due to fluctuations in the metal markets. Each version
presents a collection of coins with a total melt value equal to their
total monetary value.

hypothetical
sets
Part of an
ongoing series of
collages, sketching out hypothetical, minimal sets made from familiar
decorative and architectural elements as depicted in late 70s/early 80s
interior design books and catalogs.
A small selection of this series is posted here.
exquisite corpse
The exquisite corpse collages
represent a formal exploration of sameness, using the ready-made
trisected form of Playboy
centerfolds from 1980 to the present.
Off
the Record...
Off
the Record... is
a collaborative project with Ethan Breckenridge and Phil
Vanderhyden. It takes
as inspiration the self-organized activities of artists in the early
90s, who turned their Soho lofts into impromptu galleries, theaters,
and presentation spaces. Using this moment in the market as our
catalyst Off the Record... is part
installation, part performance, and part live video happening,
reframing the traditional form of the artist interview using a
talk-show paradigm.
