an untitled durational performance

Sept 8, 2001, 2-5pm

Toronto-based performance artist Louise Liliefeldt's work is well-known for its concern with the politics of identity and the intersection of gender and race issues. She studied film, video and performance art at the Ontario College Of Art & Design from 1989 to 1992 and has since been active with various performance events and collectives.

Liliefeldt's untitled performance, which accompanies the reception on Saturday September 8th, starting at 2pm, will provide an opportunity to link the performative bass line running through Giii's drawing practice with Liliefeldt's interest in the cultural conventions of spectatorship and the relationship between expanded emotional/psychological states and the physical experience. In this conceptual work Louise displays herself as a life-size diagram. This is a metaphor for the activity that lies below the surface of the body which, in her case, alludes to a profound biological concern.
