Featured Performer 1996
Janet Grau
"long since familiar"
Janet Grau, a conceptual performance artist form Columbus, Ohio, first
performed her piece "long since familiar" as her MFA thesis at
Ohio State University in 1995. She performs in an installation environment
consisting of an old iron frame bed hanging from the ceiling, a huge mound
of dirt,
22 ladies slips, and bedsheets hung from a clothesline. By employing wideo
projections and live performance, she presents the audience with two conflicting
perspectives, the voyeuuristic video of a woman undressing and the live
reality of her pshing lingerie through a matress filled with dirt.
