I'll be giving a talk at the Hirshhorn on Andy Warhol and the Empire 3 exhibition

I am honored to be asked by The Hirshhorn to discuss the latest Directions exhibition, Empire3. Warhol's work has been an influence on my own art practice, as well as my academic work (including a 2004 PCA/ACA annual conference presentation on Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, and Takashi Murakami). I am excited to discuss his film Empire, as well as Douglas Gordon's Bootleg (Empire) and Wolfgang Staehle's Empire 24/7.

Triathlon of the Muses - a performance collaboration with Jeffry Cudlin

Triathlon of the Muses, 2011
Kathryn Cornelius & Jeffry Cudlin
Live performance
(e)merge art fair, Washington, DC
Saturday, September 24
12-2pm

Performance artists Kathryn Cornelius and Jeffry Cudlin are getting physical. On Saturday, September 24 (12-2pm) the two DC-based artists will stage their own battle of the sexes, competing head-to-head in a two-person sprint triathlon during the (e)merge art fair.

At the Capitol Skyline Hotel, Cornelius and Cudlin will engage in three very real tests of physical and mental stamina: They'll both swim 750m in the hotel pool, pedal 20k on stationary bikes, and run a 5k on treadmills. Immediately after the competition, in a pomp-filled ceremony held poolside, a champion will be declared; a loser will be shamed; and gold and silver medals will be awarded.

Watch the pre-competition drama unfold:
