				WHAT IS ART GOOD FOR? 100X KUNST In collaboration with Annie Sprinkle Kunsthalle, Vienna, Austria Artists were invited to create signs for a Viennese park. Ours read "Be Nice to prostitutes and artists."
				WISH YOU WERE HERE Exhibition Views Projections, Photographs, Video Books, Website and An American Road Trip Map This exhibition was composed of various objects I produced while I was performing my roadtrip. Shown together these objects, photographs and video pieces represented my travels in terms of time, texture, space and imagery.
				PARTIAL RECALL Collaboration with E.G. Crichton Etched Mirror Plaques, Enriched White Flour Statistics This site-specific installation juxtaposed Ben Franklin's sayings with contemporary statistics. We placed our own historical plaques in Old Town, Philadelphia. Each one was etched with a partial Franklin aphorism. Below each plaque we stenciled an enriched white flour statistic consisting of a certain fact, stable for an hour or a week. We questioned whether statistics have become the anchor for today's “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” philosophy that seems to ignore real social problems and needs.
				AUTO-BIOGRAPHY Collaboration with E.G. Crichton Van, welded lightening rods, LED's, Megaphone, Slide Projector This was a roving performance that evolved over the course of Philadelphia’s Fringe Festival. A Plymouth Voyager became the "Ben-Mobile," complete with Ben’s hundred-dollar portrait. We drove this vehicle throughout Old City, reading Franklin’s autobiography through a loudspeaker. At night, we scrolled Franklin’s aphorisms on the LED signs and projected his quotes onto the walls of passing buildings.
				DYSPHORIAS: TROUBLE IN TOYLAND Collaboration with E.G. Crichton and Mary Tsiongas Wood Cutouts, Lighting, Sound Track, Video, Rugs "Toyland" used the trope of toys to investigate the dysphoria of gender. Large shadows and sound permeated the gallery, evoking a troubled childhood landscape. Toy silhouettes snaked around the walls of the gallery following a boy-to-girl gender line. In the next room, viewers could sit on toy-shaped rugs to watch videos with slowly dissolving abstract color and quick subliminal image flashes of boy toys speaking with female toy voices, and visa versa.
				1-800-TELL-ALL Collaboration with E.G. Crichton and Scott Brookie We invited viewers to enter the phone booth that served as the interface to 3 prominent second story windows. A voice mail system presented a menu of questions to participants while a surveillance video camera captured their images. Upstairs computers, projectors, and crew created a feedback system whereby participants and their words were randomly projected onto the windows. This piece communicated the New Years’ Eve collective consciousness of Santa Cruz, CA to the viewing public.
				BEFORE/AFTER Collaboration with E.G. Crichton< Posters, Slide Projections, Magnetic Words, Text, Napkins This installation/intervention occurred at the international feminist conference "Transformations," held at Lancaster University in England. We used the "Before and After" theme to depict change. We created 122 magnetic theoretical buzz words that people could arrange into complex and often humorous identity labels on bathroom stalls. We secretly stamped provocative questions on the underside of the napkins at each table. These questions were revealed during a formal banquet as the diners unfolded their napkins.
				A TRIBUTE TO ED MOCK Motorized Video Swings, Interviews, Slide Projections, Costumes, Broadsides Mock’s former dancers and students asked me to produce this installation to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the San Francisco dancer and choreographer's untimely death from AIDS. It was located in the San Christina Hotel, Market Street, San Francisco. The triangular space was filled with the reflected light and motion of the city and displayed Mock's performance artifacts in a ghost-like and ephemeral sculptural installation. His voice and the soundtracks of his performances could be heard throughout.
				ROCKING RED ROCKING Collaboration with E.G. Crichton Motorized Rocking Chairs, Recorded Voices, and Rear Slide Projection This multi-media installation was sited on the front porch of the UCSC Women's Center. As the chairs rocked mechanically, taped voices played of women speaking of their hopes, fears, and desires. In the evenings, slides projected through the windows of the house. The images ranged from women's bodies, to historical photos of suffragettes, to burning flames. During the day people would often sit on the porch and listen to the voices or talk amongst themselves.
				SAFE SEX EXPRESS Collaboration with Diane Bonder Latex Gloves, Dental Dams Text, Projected Images and Sound; 14’x14’x14’ This installation was intended to educate women about protection from HIV transmission. Parodying the clothing store, "Limited Express," we proposed safe sex accessories as a desirable fashion statement. Slides of women modeling safe sex fashions projected between two latex dresses. Latex gloves, condoms, and dental dams were also exhibited. Throughout the show condoms and informative HIV literature for women were available for the viewers to take home.
				HOME Collaboration with Mags Harries Car, Lawn Furniture, Television, Mixed Media; 10’x 7’x 14’ This piece was shown at the World Trade Center in Boston for a benefit to raise money for a homeless shelter. We proposed using abandoned materials such as a junk car to build alternative living sites for the homeless. This particular car was outfitted with curtains, a T.V. under the hood and a storage rack on top to store one’s sundries.
