After taking on topics including AIDS, Jackie O., Trump, unicorns and Martha Stewart, Karen Finley, a name synonymous with Performance Art, will tackle pandemic anxiety in her newest full length performance piece COVID Vortex Anxiety Opera Kitty Kaleidoscope Disco.
In COVID Vortex Anxiety Opera Kitty Kaleidoscope Disco, Finley reflects on our pandemic era traumas, politics and world events, as well as our coping strategies to deal with isolation, loss and a culture overwhelmed by anxiety. Finley looks back at a time of Zoom discos, bingeing on animal videos and pandemic hobbies like baking. This look back while trying to look forward to reimagine a new future creates the framework for this passionate, vulnerable and often comical new work.
During the pandemic, Finley has been creating hand-painted ink script over found book pages as an act of graffiti. Videos and slides of these works intertwine within COVID Vortex Anxiety Opera Kitty Kaleidoscope Disco as a moving montage. The piece also features a brief sound installation using gathered voices expressing pandemic emotions.
