Online Comments (August 2007 – August 2011)
@ BOLT Residency Project Space
217 N. Carpenter Street, Chicago Chicago, IL
Opening Tuesday, November 1st, from 6PM - 8:30PM
BOLT resident Amber Hawk Swanson will present “Online Comments (August 2007 – August 2011)” a performance that responds to early press for her “Amber Doll Project” (2008) on November 1 from 6-8:30pm in the BOLT Project Space (217 N. Carpenter Street, Chicago Chicago, IL).
Amber Hawk Swanson received early press for her “Amber Doll Project” (2008). The project involved her commissioning the production of a life-like sex doll, a RealDoll, made of a PVC skeleton and silicone flesh, in her exact likeness. The first article to profile the “Amber Doll Project” received a great number of anonymous online comments and was posted on a number of blogs where the amount of comments grew. Her two and a half hour performance, “Online Comments (August 2007 – August 2011)”, will feature Hawk Swanson reading every comment still online as of August 2011. Misspellings, typos, grammatical errors, duplications etc. will be retained from the originals.
The performance kicks off “Aftermath”, an exhibition of 7 BOLT Residents co-curated by the husband-and-wife team Jeriah Hildwine and Stephanie Burke. Aftermath opens November 4th from 6-9pm at Chicago Artists’ Coalition (CAC), 217 North Carpenter Street and will run from November 4-December 2, 2011.
