PUBLIC TALK: SymbioticA Friday Seminar> The Quote Generator

SymbioticA Friday Seminar> Speaker: Danielle Freakley; Title: The Quote Generator; Time & Location: 3:30-5pm @ SymbioticA;

Danielle Freakley will be speaking about and showing videos of her performances including ‘The Quote Generator’, in which she speaks solely in quotations for periods of time. The Quote Generator consists of three phases: Phase One which lasted for eighteen months, in which Freakley spoke in quotes from commercial products e.g. films, books, advertisements, lyrics, etc; Phase Two in which Freakley will speak in quotes from people she has interacted with directly, e.g family, friends, lecturers, and will last for 12 months; and finally, Phase Three, in which Freakley will speak in quotes from herself, as first person in the past, which will last for 6 months. Phase Two of the Quote Generator was launched on the 14th of November at X Initiative as part of PERFORMA the New York Visual Art Performance Biennial.

Danielle Freakley is a performance artist, sculptor, sound artist, drawer and interactive installation artist. Her interventionist performances mostly involve developing parasitic abilities/disabilities throughout daily life.
