Boundary Lines

Boundary Lines, performance by Leslie Dick
Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art
November 10, 12:30-2pm, CAA-211
FREE and open to the public

In 1994, Leslie Dick wrote a short text which explored the experience of being a mother as an experience of loss, describing a series of moments of separation from her daughter, then two years old. In 2008, Leslie Dick's daughter Audrey made a video in which she (aged sixteen) stood in front of a projection of an old home movie of herself aged eight. Taking this visual superimposition as her point of departure, and regarding the performance as a delayed and displaced collaboration, Leslie Dick will present further thoughts on identification and the image, memory and time.
