“Decolonizing the Image” published in Performing Ethos

Alicia — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 00:53:25 +0000

My piece “Decolonizing the Image” was selected for publication in the
academic journal Performing Ethos from Intellect Books Issue1/Volume1.
Short Abstract:
Photography has completed the racialization of identity as a vehicle
in colonization throughout modernity. With the emergence of immaterial
art such as performance, the artist has been able to use the body in
order to de-construct identity. As a result, performance
documentation, like Adrian Piper’s Mythic Being, begin to unmark
imperialist overtures embedded in images.

Revealing New York: The Disappearance of Other
April 10, 2010
1 pm to 4 pm
Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning
161-04 Jamaica Ave
Jamaica, NY 11432

I will be presenting “Revealing New York: The Disappearance of Other”,
as part of the Jamaica Flux ‘10 curated by Hen-Gil Han, Jamaica Flux:
Work Spaces & Windows, a project of Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning
(JCAL). “Revealing New York: The Disappearance of Other” is a sequel
to her Franklin Furnace Fund for Performance Art project An
Auto-ethnographic Study: The Bronx. The first held in 2008 for Art in
Odd Places:Pedestrian in Manhattan. The work highlights the effects of
the city’s transformation by covering her face with clippings and
media associated with housing changes occurring in New York City.
These changes bring revitalization but in some cases displacement,
devastation, and anonymity. Engaging different people from all
economic and cultural backgrounds, the project asks the question of
how housing development changes the city’s demographics as well as its
landscape. For Jamaica Flux, I will focus on the foreclosure crisis
affecting Queens. http://www.jcal.org/visual_arts/programs.html
