GREENER PASTURES combines kitsch, objects of consumerism, and queerness to position performance and media artist, Liss LaFleur, as a cowgirl on a new frontier. Included in this exhibition are five new performances captured in photography and video, along with leather, aluminum, glass and neon sculptures. LaFleur’s work often originates with the artist creating extensions of the body as props for performances to exploit how history, language, and expectations work to etch identity into (or out of) one’s existence. For GREENER PASTURES, LaFleur confronts the biologlical, historical, and political ideologies of the cowgirl to outline a new conceptiual territory surrounding sensuality, the feminist body, and the South.
