Earlier this year, I had the great honor of participating in a residency coordinated by the Feminist Art Group and IV Soldiers Gallery in Rosekill, NY. During that residency, I collaborated, cooked, performed, cleaned, chopped fire wood, tended to a fire for 12 hours and shared the most profound moments and memories of my artistic career with members of the Feminist Art Group. Fellow participants, Lorene Bouboushian and Kaia Gilje presented a daring and physically challenging performance across an overgrown field at Rosekill. Contained within giant plastic water containers, Bouboushian and Gilje yelled towards eachother, using sound as the only directional tool. The scale and physical intensity of the piece was so wonderfully bizarre and unlike other performances that I had witnessed ... anywhere!

Bouboushian is presenting a new project this week entitled, 
extent of explosive lament at The Exponential Festival based in various locations across Brooklyn, NY. I can't wait to experience Bouboushian's latest performance dimensions and invite you to experience this work first hand. Full details below. - Quinn Dukes

A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST

​" the work relies on an integrated solo practice of being, sounding, and dancing that turns the cultural milieu of a space inside out. i seek an exhumation of myself and the audience that causes us to question why and how we are here in an art space together. 

rather than paint social commentary on the canvas of possibility that is the performance, i plumb the depths of being-with-others and being-in-my-body to bring out what lies underneath. 

i handle my history of transience, trauma, and internalized class warfare in and through performing; the myths of refugees, petty criminals, white trash and army wives are transformed into a collaboration with everyone in the room." - Lorene Bouboushian
