LOOKOUT PRESENTS: WRITTEN IN SAND by Karen Finley

February 10, 2017 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

$25.00

Written in Sand:
Collected Aids Writings
A solo spoken word performance

For Visual Aids 25th anniversary (2013), curated by Sur Rodney Sur in New York City, Finley was invited to participate in the exhibit. While looking over and revisiting her art and writing on the subject and era Finley gathered her poetic responses and realized that it became its own narrative, its own body of work. Sections of performance texts, poetry, letters and fragments express the loss and magnitude of personal suffering and compassion within a larger world of homophobia, denial and injustice.  Some of these writings are those that were censored and considered indecent, bringing her and three other artists (Fleck, Hughes, Miller) to the Supreme Court.
