MICOL HEBRON

Performance: "One Voice-less"
Facing a wall in the gallery, Hebron will say and yell her first name until she loses her voice.

and
Video: Miss Sithyphus (loop)

In Miss Sithyphus, a performative video, Hebron perpetually pushes a shopping cart to the top of a steep urban street. Acting as a dual metaphor for consumerism and homelessness, Hebron and her shopping cart are also a parody of antiquated notions of women's labor.

Screening of video piece: "The Farmer's Daughter"
Length: 30 minutes

The Farmer's Daughter is a series of jokes, taken from the public domain, and read to the viewer like a short story. The ostensible subject of the jokes is farming and farmers, but "The Farmer's Daughter" reveals attitudes about class, sexuality, social interaction and language. The identity of an anonymous author is posited through the narrator's changing appearance, response to the jokes she is reading, and her visual relationship to the background imagery. "The Farmer's Daughter" treats jokes and humor as a chunk of Americana: a piece which circumscribes specific American geography, folklore, language and cliches considered to be representative of American farming culture.

ELIZABETH TOBIAS

Screening of video piece: "Gross National Product"
Length: 7 minutes

types, and given to the participants to interpret and read in front of the camera.
