Zackary Drucker’s Door Girl paid homage to Drucker’s formative years studying art and developing a performance practice at CALARTS, while greeting and admitting partygoers at Downtown LA's queer club Shits Giggles in the aughts. Inspired by her teacher Michael Asher, master of subtle interventions in museums and forebear of 'institutional critique,' Drucker was the door girl greeting visitors as they entered the MAK Center. In a time when social mores have been dissolved by the ubiquity of people's primary relationship with their phones, having face-to-face interactions is more radical and necessary than ever. As a multimedia artist and filmmaker, Drucker’s work amplifies the voices of women and gender expansive people, and celebrates the richness and complexity of transgender identity, history, and community building. • In partnership with the MAK Center, homeLA presents In Their Own Image, a performance program in dialogue with a selection of photographic works from Austrian-born and self-proclaimed feminist artist VALIE EXPORT called Body Configurations, on view as part of “VALIE EXPORT: Embodied” at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House. • In Their Own Image was a performance program curated by Chloë Flores featuring new work by performing artists Zackary Drucker, Sierra Fujita, Emily Lucid, Lara Salmon, Andrea Soto, and Dorian Wood. The program developed from an invitation to create work in response to VALIE EXPORT's series of physicalized performative actions and early feminist provocations known as Body Configurations. The artists were asked to consider this body of work within the specific context of the Schindler House in Los Angeles, CA, where select works from this series will be exhibited. Each artist engaged the proposition with work that responds to –– and subverts –– the spatial contexts of the Schindler House, just as EXPORT’s interventions in public space reframed the spatialized female body. • Learn more on our website: https://www.homela.org/in-their-own-i... • #dance #sitespecific #losangeles
