ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Collaborators Damien Luxe and Alison Picard are two individuals fascinated with the expression of internal imaginings and struggles through humor and pathos. We are informed by the feminist tradition of bearing witness to the experience of others; the modernist tradition of intricate and fallacious storytelling; and the power of the oral tradition. We also operate with a careful understanding of the power assumed in relating the truth of an Other. We are writers, performers, musicians and image-makers, and are actively participating in the virtual culture of shareware and 'copyleft' sampling to create our text. We choose to utilize both traditional and innovative methods in our work.

Alison Picard is a Brooklyn-based photographer, multi-media artist and performer. Her work is centered on narrative--framing new ones, revealing existing ones, and honoring the power in relating each other’s experiences through witness and collaboration.
Damien Luxe is a multimedia producer, writer and performer whose work has been curated all over North America. She has been producing experimental, text-based theater in Toronto and New York for 5 years, and is interested in archiving, oral histories, and the stories that evolve when one fails.
