Diversity Walks and Talks By Miss Art World Curated by Peter Mays Presented by Los Angeles Arts Association / Gallery 825 The “Diversity Walks and Talks” performance invited individuals proclaimers of LA’s culture to strut the runway in celebration of their uniqueness, showcasing LA’s diversity. A variety of participants were interviewed about what diversity represents to them. Their interviews played during their walk down the runway at the LA Art Show 2020. This performance, like LA’s fashion and celebrity culture, was high energy, fast-paced, and confident.

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.
