Dialogue with Artist: Pat Oleszko November 5, 2009

Downtown artist and 30-year veteran of performance art Pat Oleszko makes a spectacle of herself — and doesn't mind if you laugh. At the Educational Alliance Art School’s “Dialogue with Artist: PAT OLESZKO” event, Oleszko will discuss her work including performance and costume, show a film of a performance and lead a lively dialogue about art and performance.

Known as the Ms. Tricks of Dis Guise, she has a large body — of work — which includes many Unnatural Acts. Utilizing elaborate costumes and props, she has created lithe performantzes, films, and installations that a-dress trees, knees, breasts, butts, elephants and fingers.

Pat Oleszko is a 2009 Artists’ Fellowship recipients of the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). The presentation is co-sponsored by Artists & Audiences Exchange, a public program of NYFA.
