“Trophallacy” by Vicki Amorose, found trophy, rose thorns, metal, 2018

 

Eugene Contemporary Art is pleased to present Trophallacy, a performance by Vicki Amorose, with Tailgate Party for Art by Gray Space. Vicki’s performance art background in the post-punk era of San Francisco includes the Nuclear Beauty Parlor and the Church of the SubGenius.

 

Trophallacy critiques the dominance of the Win/Lose paradigm, pointedly in the arts. Blending live performance, video and voiceover, the work illuminates our cultural obsession with the creation of contests, rankings and competitions, and questions the artist’s acceptance of a damaging and often self-imposed framework. Vicki Amorose is an award-losing artist and writer, and a member of Gray Space project. (grayspaceproject.com)

 

The Tailgate Party for Art, initiated by Gray Space, takes place 6-8pm outside the venue, with a 7pm break for the performance. 2D work by Gray Space artists will be on view through the month of June.
