Spanning photography, performative video, and installation, Target Audience imagines a day within an advertising agency run by vampires, working on a new campaign for a pointless product to sell an unsuspecting audience.
At the center of the exhibition is a video piece that will be live scored and live edited, performed in half hour loops by myself in collaboration with @andersnils and @tear_tier_tare. This takes place within an installation mirroring the ad agency office, within the basement of an industrial building, offering viewers the ability to peek behind the curtain at who is selling to them.

2. Eleanor Antin, Nao Bustamante, Patty Chang, Joan Jonas, Stanya Kahn, Howardena Pindell, Pope.L, FF Alumns, at Julia Stoschek Foundation, Berlin, Germany, thru July 28, 2024
Opening 13 September 2023, 6–10 p.m.
Unbound: Performance As Rupture
14 September 2023 – 28 July 2024
The Julia Stoschek Foundation presents an extensive group exhibition featuring 36 artists that looks at the disruptive potential of art, its aesthetic moments, and performative gestures.
Unbound: Performance Aa Rupture examines how different generations of artists have called upon the body in relation to the camera to refuse oppressive ideologies, disrupt historical narratives, and unsettle concepts of identity. In addition to performance documentation and performance-for-the-camera, the exhibited artworks offer investigations into contemporary image economies that draw attention to how bodies move through or evade physical and digital spaces.
Setting works from the Julia Stoschek Collection in dialogue with loans, the exhibition traces various intersections of performance and video art from the late 1960s to today, focusing on how they create specific forms of rupture, fracture, and pause.
With Panteha Abareshi, Eleanor Antin, Salim Bayri, Nao Bustamante, Matt Calderwood, Peter Campus, Patty Chang, Julien Creuzet, Vaginal Davis, Ufuoma Essi, Valie Export, Cao Guimarães, Shuruq Harb, Sanja Iveković, Ulysses Jenkins, Joan Jonas, Stanya Kahn, Verena Kyselka, Tarek Lakhrissi, Klara Lidén, mandla, Graham Clayton-Chance, Lutz Mommartz, Senga Nengudi, Mame-Diarra Niang, Lydia Ourahmane, Christelle Oyiri, P.

4. Mirtha Dermisache, Ana Mendieta, Lygia Pape, Liliana Porter, Regina Silveira, Regina Vater, Cecilia Vicuña, FF Alumns, at Center for Book Arts, Manhattan, Oct. 5-Dec. 16
Center for Book Arts is excited to present Off-Register: Publishing Experiments by Women Artists in Latin America, 1960-1990 curated by Mela Dávila from October 5 to December 16 2023. This exhibition sets out to explore the creative practices of a series of Latin American women artists who, between 1960 and 1990, channeled part of their artistic impetus into printed and serialized media. The time span covered by the exhibition tracks the expansion of the conceptual movement, which began around 1960 and, depending on the geographical contexts, would last until the end of the 1980s. This was the time when artists’ books and other printed matter joined the list of new formats – installation, video, performance… – that were beginning to spread beyond the classic artistic genres and widen the field of possibilities for creators. Off-Register aims to offer an original perspective on artists’ publications created in these decades, focusing on the printed works produced and published by some thirty women artists who originated from or developed their practice in various Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela – and the Chicano community in the United States.
Works by or in collaboration with Claudia Andújar (Brazil), Barbara Brändli (Venezuela), Roser Bru (Chile), Teresa Burga (Peru), Feliza Bursztyn (Colombia), Maris Bustamante + No Grupo (Mexico),Vera Chaves Barcellos (Brazil), Alicia D’Amico + Sara Facio (Argentina), Lenora de Barros (Brazil), Mirtha Dermisache (Argentina), Paz Errázuriz (Chile), Gego (Venezuela), Anna Bella Geiger (Brazil), Beatriz González (Colombia), Lourdes Grobet (Mexico), Graciela Gutiérrez Marx (Argentina), Beatriz Jaramillo (Colombia), Magali Lara + Carmen Boullosa (Mexico), Yolanda Lopez (US), Ana Mendieta (Cuba), Marie Orensanz (Argentina), Catalina Parra (Chile), Lygia Pape (Brazil), Liliana Porter (Argentina), Nelly Richard (Chile), Lotty Rosenfeld (Chile), Gretta Sarfaty (Brazil), Thea Segall (Venezuela), Marcela Serrano (Chile), Regina Silveira (Brazil), Tecla Tofano (Venezuela), Regina Vater (Brazil), Cecilia Vicuña (Chile), Diana Witlin (Colombia) and Nirma Zárate (Colombia).
Thank you.

5. Patricia Miranda, FF Alumn, autumn news
Fall rushes in, art always follows….
This summer included an enlightening trip to Greece for the Walking Encounters Conference in Prespa, an international community of peripatetic artists who walk (and walk and walk!) as their art practice. The environmental and political complexity, the sheer beauty, the humor and generosity of the people of Greece (not to mention the food!), I am still thinking about connected locality across distances, and how walking, feet touching ground, side by side with others, creates powerfully embodied community in this complicated world.
I am fortunate to be surrounded by and work with so many wonderful artists and collaborators.
This fall brings a slew of fun projects- in the studio, at MAPSpace, and beyond.
Please join me and the other artists to celebrate these projects.

Art in Odd Places
October 13-15
Christopher Kaczmarek and I have worked together as mutual art support for many years. This year we will embark on our first full collaboration for the always amazing Art in Odd Places, the yearly arts festival presenting visual and performance art in unexpected public spaces along 14th street in NYC.
Come dance and walk with us!
We are excited to be amongst this crowd of fantastic artists!
Blanka Amezkua | AnimaeNoctis | Sally Apfelbaum | Helixx C. Armageddon | Reid Arowood | Alex Bard | Leenda Bonilla | Sayali Bramhe | Kasie Campbell | Clare Charnley & Farah Naz Moon | Margaret Chodos-Irvine | Day de Dada Performance Art Collective | Daniela Fabrizi | Vanessa Fairfax-Woods | Paola Fiterre | Jana Greiner | IGUANA Collaborative | Juliet Johnson | Kaczmarek/Miranda | Donaka Katherine | Melissa Lockwood | LuLu LoLo | Deirdre Macleod | Kristin Mariani | MiSWiP | Ankon Mitra | Lee Nutbean | Olek | Kasia Ozga | RETTOCAMME | Gabrielle Senza | Tilted Axes: Music for Mobile Electric Guitars | Molly Jae Vaughan | Micki Watanabe Spiller | Yvonne Zhang
a sneak peek at our collaboration!
A dress is a living architecture of the body, one that frames, accentuates, shapes, alters, and adorns the human form. Using orange construction materials in the form of an oversize traditional hoop skirt, Kaczmarek/Miranda will carve out an extravagant constructed body moving through public space. The bright orange materials nod to the ongoing construction of New York City and of all bodies as they move through time and place. The skirt references textile and architectural histories that reshape physical bodies and space, and their use in the experience of autonomy as well as repression.

6. Tracie Morris, FF Alumn, at Powerhouse Arena, Brooklyn, Sept. 20, and more
Hiya Friend!
I wanted to let you know, through my antiquated social media service known as “my curated email list”, about two great events I’m going to be featured in next week. One in the boroughs (the borough of Kings) and one upstate. Autumn in New York. So beautiful and exciting!:
On September 20, 2023 as a kind of pre-Brooklyn Book Festival gathering, I will be celebrating my new book, human/nature poems with a reading and in conversation with the great writer, poet, thinker, translator and lovely person, John Keene, sponsored by Litmus Press. I’ve known John for ages and this should be quite sweet. I’m so honored to spend time with him. We’ll be chatting at Powerhouse Arena (Dumbo, Brooklyn) from 7 – 9 pm.
Please visit this link:
https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=789024776557845&set=a.400736488720011
On September 22, 2023 I’m heading upstate to very hip Hudson, New York, to read poetry and converse with my Left Coast pal Tongo Eisen-Martin, the wonderful Poet Laureate of San Francisco, as part of the Flow Chart Foundation’s event season. Our paths have happily crossed several times but we’ve yet to really read together and talk. I’m so delighted to share the stage with him. The reading and conversation will be at Second Ward Foundation, 71 North 3rd Street Hudson, NY 12534 from 7-9 pm. It’s a lovely place.
Please visit this link:
https://www.greenearts.org/all-events/tracie-morris-tongo-eisen-martin/
Hope you can make it to one (or both!) of these events. They’ll be quite different! 🙂
Also, you may receive one more email from me a bit later. I have two other books coming out soon and there may be a bit of a shindig with all three publishers toward the end of the year/early next year. They’re radically different projects that I consider to be a triptych with human/nature poems. More on that soon but keep your eyes peeled. That would be three whole emails from me this year! That’s a lot for me!
I know, I know, I should be on social media to e-blast but I certainly do like the peacefulness of just reaching you all in this personal way.
Happy Autumn here’s to the beautiful crisp air and kaleidoscopic leaves falling around us. Hope to see you soon.
Hugs,
Tracie
Thank you.
