to present Show and Tell, an evening of humorous and political
performance lectures.
Activist artists Tara Mateik, founder of the Society for Biological
Insurgents, and The Yes Men, an "identity correction" collective, will
assume guises and give entertaining talks demonstrating their use of
information and "disinformation" to shift balances of power.
In his words, Tara Mateik's work "stategizes to overthrow institutions of
compulsory gender. through performance, video, and intervention." In Putting the Balls Away, he will reenact a legendary "Battle of the
Sexes," Billie Jean King's 1973 defeat of the former Wimbledon men's
champion, Bobby Riggs. By playing both roles in a video version of the
match, and reviving remarks by sports commentators Howard Cosell and Rosie
Casals, Mateik recalls the controversy sparked by the most watched
televised sporting event of the era.
The Yes Men will present the first public demonstration of their
SurvivaBall, an advanced new technology designed to keep corporate
managers safe, even when climate change makes life as we know it
impossible. Recently unveiled at a corporate conference by Yes Men
masquerading as Halliburton executives, the SurvivaBall is "designed to
protect the corporate manager no matter what Mother Nature throws his or
her way."
Curated by Marisa Olson, Editor and Curator, Rhizome.org, as a component
