Darren Lee Miller: Retold
We tell the same stories over and over, repurposing the players to create new meaning but often the older associations remain close to the surface. Taking my cues from the metaphors seen in ancient mythology, renaissance painting, and contemporary photography, I undermine the power dynamics and roles that exist within depicted relationships to remind the viewer of familiar stories, but also to challenge expected meaning.

* * * Earlier this summer U.V. Dogan’s work was put on my radar. Initially, I was drawn to Dogan’s sculptural work, but I fell in love with the video documentation of a few performances that were available on his site. “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” is one of those pieces; playing with Ufuk, which is both a proper noun (personal … Continue reading
* * * I think of Joanna Tam‘s work as interrogating systems. As pure a researcher as the Art World has ever seen, Joanna brings a careful, calculated consideration to subjects such as personalizing data (107,594) and studying her own place within US culture (I’m American, Reduction Study).

THIS is Performance Art Performance art is now. Performance art is live. Performance art reveals itself in the present. The artist engages in the act of creation as s/he performs. Performance art’s manifestation and outcome cannot be known in advance. Re-enactment of historical work is theater, not performance art. Performance art is real. Performance art … Continue reading
“No one has ever written, painted, sculpted, modeled, built, or invented except literally to get out of hell.” ~ Artaud The performance I’m Fine is deeply concerned with moving the audience into a state of feeling, through anger on the part of the performer.
