Featured Performer 1996
Lynn Lukkas
"a room of one's"
Through the exploration and maniplation of the fe/male body, and the unconcious, Lynn Lukkas of Minneapolis creates an enveloping multi-media room of huuge projected moving images. Enacting the events of life: birth, sexual and spiritual knowledge, love and death, the performer investigats femininity in a patriarchal society. Triggering motion sensors, the movements of both the performer and the spectators (entering one at a time) control the sound and visual projections, making chance occurance on integral part of the work. This piece is an intensive examination of relationships of power and desire, challenging not only the audience but the performer as well. Sited in a storefront in the Colonial Arcade in downtown Cleveland, spectators are invited to experience this installation at various hours throughtout the working week.
