Two Girls Working:
Tiffany Ludwig and Renee Piechocki

Lecture: Monday, July 25
In collaboration with Martha Wilson and GuerrillaGirlsBroadBand
Workshop: July 25 - 29
in collaboration with Martha Wilson

Two Girls Working is the collaborative team of artists Tiffany Ludwig and Renee Piechocki. They position themselves as assets to civic action and dialogue. Their project Trappings is a national, multi-media artwork (print, audio, and video) that explores the complicated landscape of power and its relationship to personal identity. At the heart of the project is the question: what do you wear that makes you feel powerful? Dismayed by the lack of dialogue about contemporary feminism among diverse groups of people, they initiated Trappings to explore individualized approaches to power through interview-based community dialogue. Trappings is an on-going project with multiple parts: interview sessions where women are invited to discuss what they wear to make themselves feel powerful; an exhibition with audio, print and video components; and a website, www.twogirlsworking.com

Two Girls Working will present their project Trappings during the workshop and have each participant organize two Trappings interview sessions. The interview sessions will be held during the evenings of the workshop week at SFAI or in the local region.

Martha Wilson's workshop will focus on identity as subject. During the course of the week, each participant will write and create a performance art piece and present it to the group. Video tapes by various performance artists will be viewed and discussed.
