Good Verbal

The teacher/the mistress, the Madonna/the whore: Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, or Miranda. How does the divided feminine activate male lives, and where can we find representations of wholeness? In Good Verbal (the divided feminine talks back) the artist remixes excerpts from Joey Soloway’s 2016 TIFF keynote with lines from Cruel Intentions (1999), emails from academic administrators, and samples of verbal humiliation from her “motorboat porno mouth”. The artist performs the original text sandwiched between a human mic stand, and a closely cropped video of breasts expressing milk. View the performance documentation in its entirety below.
