[call
out... (poster, above) documents the transcript from our live call-out
performance on East Village Radio. call out… was originally
performed as part of a feminist
radio takeover organized by Broadside for PERFORMA 2009. The
performance consisted of a series
of random, anonymous and unannounced, live phone calls where ripped a
page out of the phone book and called the numbers sequentially. We
asked
the person receiving the call to tell us what it was that came to mind
when they heard the word "feminism." The transcript is presented
above as an unlimited edition poster.
call
out... is an ongoing performance, and can take place on the air, live
in front of an audience, or privately in my studio. Check back
