Imposter/switch is delighted to announce that liz HOWLS (puppetry) will be joining Marissa Rae Niederhauser (dance, video, performance art) as co-curator.
We will miss Kennedy Verrett (music) as he goes on to his next chapter but we are excited about the new perspective and the new community that liz HOWLS will bring.
liz HOWLS is a multidisciplinary artist with a focus in puppetry. She has designed, performed, directed and built various styles of puppet shows for over 25 years. She recently moved to Portland to pursue work in the stop-motion animation industry. When not working in stop motion, she builds commissioned puppets, produces community art events, and performs original work. For the past 15 years, Liz has produced and coordinated The Full Moon Puppet Show, a Minneapolis, MN organization that produces adult puppet slams and workshops for artists interested in the puppetry arts.
Stay tuned for the next Imposter/switch coming Saturday, January 13, 2024 8pm at Performance Works Northwest
Wtf is an Imposter/switch?
Celebrating the imposter syndrome living in each of us by poking a little fun at the idea that mastery is necessary for creative viability and inviting artists to courageously switch disciplines with another artist.
6 artists working in various disciplines are selected. The artists’ names will go in one hat and their disciplines in another. In a publicly shared video drawing artists will be randomly assigned a medium outside of their usual practice to share for public exhibition. Artists are than given two weeks to gather supplies and prepare to show the result of their experimentations in a format of their choosing.
Expect the unexpected. Long live experimental art!
