Performance
Fall Collection, 2009, NY Art Book Fair, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, Queens, NY
Fall Collection was a fashion show performance featuring a variety of other artists and designers modeling their creations while I acted as Master of Ceremonies, describing each model/artist's look while they walked the hallway of the museum, which was used as a fashion runway. The performance becomes like a live action group show. Photographer Dan Perrone documented the models as they showed off their work, and DJ Andrew Steinmetz provided musical accompaniment.
Jennifer Sullivan Avant-Garde Glamour Studio, 2009, NADA County Affair, Brooklyn, NY
I performed free avant-garde make-overs for those looking to update their look. A before and after photo was taken of each participant.
Recession Runway, 2009, NADA Emerging Artists Party @ Bumble & Bumble Salon, New York, NY
Recession Runway was a site-specific fashion show created for the NADA Emerging Artist Party at Bumble & Bumble. The performance featured other artists and designers modeling their own recession inspired wearable creations while I acted as Master of Ceremonies, mimicking the tropes of an amateur fashion show and describing each model/artist's look. Fashion photographer Pete Deevakul documented the models as they posed at the end of the runway, and DJ Annie Pearlman provided musical accompaniment and attitudinal inspiration.
It's A Process: Episode 3 - Ladies Night Live, 2009
In Episode 3 of It's a Process, I invite special guest artists Brina Thurston and Rachel Mason to help me celebrate Women's History Month in a panel discussion format inspired by "The View". In addition to our discussion, I do some cathartic karaoke, show video clips, invite questions from the audience, and give a live Mudslide drink making demo.
