Nancy Popp: Untitled (Street Performances)
Outpost for Contemporary Art – Los Angeles, CA
10/24/09
***
Nancy Popp’s series, Untitled (Street Performances), reframes the body and challenges typical hierarchical patterns of movement in public space through an interventionist gesture repeated in urban centers around the world. For her talk at Outpost she will present texts, images and video documenting recent performances in London, Zagreb and Belgrade, and discuss the variances in the actions as influenced by different geographical locations and cultural contexts.

Nancy Popp is a Los Angeles-based artist who works with a range of media, including performance, video drawing and photography. She holds degrees from Art Center College of Design and the San Francisco Art Institute. Her projects investigate the body as a site and a material, along with the risk and vulnerability of serious play. Recent exhibitions include the Overflow at the Getty Research Institute, Untitled (Street Performances) at the Atlanta Contemporary Arts Center, The Audacity of Desperation at Gallery PS122 in New York, Documental at Pilot Projekts in Dusseldorf, and Cheking Point at The Rex Cultural Center in Belgrade.
