Special Instructions
Bio: I am an artist who builds sculpture, installations and social engagements in both galleries and unexpected venues. I work with performance artists, chefs, hairdressers, nurses and other artists to investigate the economy,and poetics of the body, and the disruptive and creative possibilities of imagination. In this process, I cull supplies from the animal, vegetable and mineral sources of daily life: wood, sugar, cabbage, wool, meat, glass, light. I also cull for art-making venues: The domestic and forms of work are reframed and invited to the table,or to travel in a tent, as visual sources, and sites for installation, conversation and discourse.. And at the end of the day , it all comes back to the body-- wooden limbs, food, sutures, glass, tools..... http://www.annschnake.com/
