Women used fans not only as an accessory but also as a tool to attract additional attention through affectionate gestures. The secret language of fans has been used as a feminine tool across cultures to give females a voice when they historically had none. Yet, this voice came with expectations of being coy “ladylike”, not brazen or violent. The destruction of the fan is an act of defiance of these expectations. Duration: 1 hour The audio for this performance was only heard through one pair of headphones that was passed around to the audience. This kept the meaning of the motions secret between the performer and the listener. A set of headphones sit on a pedestal for people to pick up and listen to. The audio has recordings of different voices saying a variety of phrases like “I love you” and “You are cruel”. This same audio is connected to an earpiece the performer is wearing under the mask and cannot be seen by the audience. When the audio says a phrase, the performer does the related action to the phrases meaning with the fan. However, because of the fan’s large scale the performer has a difficult time being “coy” with the elegant flirtatious actions. The audio over time becomes faster and faster and causes the fan the break, once it breaks the performer proceeds to tear it apart. Performed: Gallery 825, Hollywood.

Hello Art lovers!! This performance took place at Gallery 825 in LA for their Second Skins show. The entire performance was an hour and half. I did my best to cut the video down but leave in the concept and important moments. At the end I talk more about the meaning behind this performance. Let me know what you thing and enjoy! Love, Miss Art World

@baha_danesh @wechooseart and @the_montalban for including me in Rainbow Shift - A Queer Homecoming Celebration Miss Art World performance "Frosted" plays into pageants and women in the beauty industry decorating themselves in order to compete for the most beautiful. Unlike a pageant, the women in this performance are solely focused on decorating each other without the competitor relationship making the decoration of each other a celebration of the body. The women’s task in this performance is to frost each other as though they were decorating a cake yet the action has a similar feel as putting on each other’s makeup. They take turns working on different body parts and areas making each look like a beautifully decorated cake. Promoting beatification or objectification can be perceived as a blurry line to onlookers.

Hello Loves! Here is a brand-new art performance titled “Alterations” performed on January 6 at Shoebox Projects in La. Please let me know your thoughts! Below is take from the Artillery Magazine The performance “Alterations” was performed in the Shoebox Project’s closet space. The performed uses the setting of the closet space to inform the performance’s concept of unseen world love dolls. Love dolls are normally hidden away, not to be talked about but used to resemble and replace women. Miss Art World says “The use of love dolls is objectification of women, but what I think is interesting is the view from a woman’s perspective trying to deal with or work through the concept of men using love dolls. This performance resembles this struggle and attempts to alter the doll into something society understands.” Miss Art World is an artist based in Los Angeles, CA. She is an emerging performance artist and has exhibited throughout the country and was honored to perform at Art Basel Miami in 2017. Miss Art World was diagnosed with an incurable eye disease at the age of ten and has struggled seeing ever since. The rejection and prejudices that arose from the academic environment led her to seek out other means of fulfillment; this came in the form of beauty pageants. Over the years, she participated in pageants winning several titles including Miss New York World. Success in pageantry proved to be both her salvation as well as a burden. Using her experiences to inform her art practice, Miss Art World critiques the unrealistic display of the “perfected” physical form and the pressures to attain it. She crowned herself Miss Art World and uses the title to question the dominating ideologies of beauty fused society’s disturbing and obsession with it. Don’t miss this thought provoking and bizarre performance and exhibit.

http://superpositiongallery.com/artists/ Hello!! Welcome back to my channel! Here is a brand new art performance called Cemented. Please let me know what you think. :) Enjoy. Love, Miss Art World EXHIBIT'S PRESS RELEASE Los Angeles, CA- “Superposition is a fundamental principle of quantum mechanics stating that a physical system simultaneously exists partly in all theoretically possible states; but when measured or observed gives a result corresponding to only one of the possible states.” -Erwin Schrödinger Superposition Gallery is pleased to present "Superposition," an inaugural exhibition of artworks by our eleven newly represented artists who interpret the meaning of simultaneous existence in one’s art practice. The artworks employ many interpretations of intersectional identities including race, gender, upbringing, environment and disability, using a range of mediums such as sculpture, painting, photographic prints, mixed media, film, and performance art. Many of the works were made specifically for the exhibition. Some works include Martin Etem’s theFUTUREisMIXED, (2018); Super Future Kid’s A Peanut Walks Into A Bar, (2018); Haleigh Nickerson’s Venus, (2018); and a performance at the reception by Miss Art World. The curator, Storm Ascher, founded Superposition on the principle of putting on exhibitions, performances, and events with a consciousness of borrowed space. Representation by Superposition Gallery gives artists a platform to exist in multiple contexts at once. By collaborating with spaces that have a consciousness of the neighborhood in which they reside, Superposition takes on the life of the nomadic artist and resident while fostering relationships with collectors and institutions. The exhibition will include works by Hannah Bigeleisen, Martin Etem, Liam Fox, Super Future Kid, Eilen Itzel Mena, Nelson Munares, Haleigh Nickerson, RFX1, Suzanne Saroff, Sinjun Strom, and Miss Art World. Superposition is pleased to be in collaboration with Pakkard Studio, located at 1001 S Broadway, 90015 in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District. The press preview is on August 18th, 2018 from 4-6pm. For rsvp and further information please contact the gallery at superposition2018@gmail.com. The reception will be open to the public starting at 6pm. All images are subject to copyright. Gallery approval must be granted prior to reproduction. Please join the conversation with Superposition Gallery on Artnet: artnet.com/galleries/superposition and on Instagram (@superpositiongallery) via the hashtag #superposition2018

Concept: A small portion of the gallery space will be my dedicated personal vacation space. During the reception I arrive “made up” which, having been involved in pageantry, involves hours of time putting on hair extensions, fake eyelashes, five inch heels, and an evening gown. In this space, I put on headphones so I can’t hear anyone and I do not interact with those around me. I take off my makeup, my extensions, dress, and heels; all are actions usually only done in privacy but doing it in public taps into the fear of the public seeing women without their “face”. I change into a onesie. My personal effects are placed randomly on the couch. Throughout the duration of the show I will dedicate one day of the week to spend four-six hours taking my personal vacation in the gallery, binge watching Netflix, sleeping, drinking wine, and eating junk food. When I am not there I will recruit others to take their personal vacation there as well however there may not be someone there all the time. Each time I visit the gallery I will arrive newly “made up” and go through same route leaving my beauty products, dresses, makeup wipes and heels behind on and around the couch retiring these beauty items.
