EMERGING ARTIST

A solo performance by Sophia Cleary, featuring video by artist Will Rahilly.

To be an artist is to mourn your life – and this is pleasurable. At what point have I emerged? Is emerging to be born? In this show I consider how becoming an artist is to become materialized. I challenge the belief that the “emerging artist” is someone who is full of potential. The emerging artist is someone who is dying and/or already dead. Emerging Artist snubs patriarchal urges to pigeonhole solo performance by women as indulgent or therapeutic. This show is about impersonations. It is accessible and confusing. All together we are reborn.
