Invitational Performer 1997
Shannon Cochrane
On Thursday May 8 Toronto's Shannon Cochrane, who performed in last year's Open, brings her cross between the work of a secretary and that of an artist in I'm sorry, not everything I make is about you to the Colonial Arcade Ballroom. Shannon Cochrane is a graduate of Ontario College of Art and has been presenting her performances since 1994. Sitting at a miniature desk in a tiny chair, Cochrane makes carbon copies sealed in envelopes for each member of the audience. She washes the originals and hangs them to dry on a clothesline. Burden, labor and (mis)communication are central to her task/performance.
