Adrienne Anemone - Sat. February 4, 2007
Brooklyn-based artist may be best known for her musical theatrics with band the Tuna Helpers described this way by Westword in Denver, Colorado: “Operatic, piano-anchored spells of art rock that imagine Azure Ray taking up residence in a Neil Gaiman graphic novel: all mystery, melody and magic.”
Adrienne also creates maniacal, frenzied performance art addressing topics such as zombies, brains, love, lesbian sex, and more. Her amazing, edgy work continues to dazzle audiences across the US.
“Though Adrienne may race around stage, kicking and screaming, her piercing eyes bulging out of her head as she releases a glorious yowl, you’d somehow feel at ease leaving her with your children.” — Bitch Magazine

As an artist Kim Miller moves across the fields of video and performance. Employing forms borrowed from performance art, modern dance, theater, and film, multiple forms of address and shifting subject articulations build and collapse. Mapping an intersection or interstices between public space and private, political and social, associative and didactic, questions are structured around a radical democratic model. What is possible within a democratic viewing situation? Does such a thing exist, and what does it look like? What’s at stake is our positions in relation to culture and to one another. These shifting, surfacing and submerging connections are unstable and fleeting, deliciously and infinitely now. Maybe working towards the existence of a democratic subject, hopefully and enthusiastically, without ever reaching this place. Or else, when I say you, I have called a you into being.
