Jill Kroesen: Collecting Injustices, Unnecessary Suffering

July 29–July 31, 2016 -  This theatrical performance features original songs, dance, and the participation of many of her past collaborators including an elaborate sculptural set designed and constructed by Jared Bark and costumes by Mary Kay Stolz. In this new performance, Kroesen articulates for herself and for her audience an allegory that animates the structures of parenting, socialization, and control that shape individual lives and collective society. Employing Kroesen’s own unique approach to portraiture, this performance coincides with the Whitney’s collection exhibition Human Interest.
