Diane Ducruet, Christopher Pickett, and Jaimie Warren
Free and open to the public

Join us for Artist Talks with participants from the Artist as Performer exhibition.

Diane Ducruet´s self-portrait photographs, Performances of the Ordinary, act as absurdist alternatives to everyday actions. Whether dressing, dancing, or eating, she turns the ordinary into the irrational and back to ordinary forever changed. Ducruet is Editor of Plainpicture (Germany-France-UK-Denmark), a photography agency specializing in advertising, book-publishing and editorial works.

A recent undergraduate at the University of Houston, Christopher Pickett created The Kiss in 2009. The video installation humorously explores narcissism and abstracted stimulation.

Jaimie Warren creates candid self-portraits that embrace vernacular photography. Inserting herself into social situations and changing her own persona to fit (or not fit) the scene, Warren´s images contain humor and perceived drama. Her recent monograph, Don´t You Feel Better, was recently published by the Aperture Foundation.
