Dear Friends,
Greetings from San Antonio. It’s the first day of my two-month residency at Artpace.
Just wanted to let you know that MOCA has put my audio for the WACK! cellphone tour online. It’s in a group of four with those of Orlan, Marina Abramovic, and Yvonne Rainer. In the audio, I read a three-minute text placing Mlle Bourgeoise Noire historically and giving my reasons for creating her. You can listen and download it at: http://www.moca.org/wack/?p=261#more-261
The audio rounds out the online presentation, with the 1980-81 performance online for the first time as well. A synopsis, including backstory and poems, plus the 13-image documentation of “Mlle Bourgeoise Noire Goes to the New Museum,” is at: http://www.moca.org/wack/?p=230
And my March 22 Gallery Talk remarks on “white middle-class feminism” and the “spatial vs chronological timelines of global feminism,” with the inference for work like mine and Senga Nengudi’s, were posted at: http://www.moca.org/wack/?p=203
That’s it for a while!
With warm regards,
Lorraine
