BAC Gallery will be open 1-4pm on Saturday, September 29, 2007, in conjunction with the Dumbo Art Under the Bridge Festival. We are pleased to present a special performance by Sheryl Oring from 1:30 - 3pm.
Oring’s I Wish to Say is a multidisciplinary project that engages public dialogue about electoral politics and implicitly examines women's historical role as listener. For this work, Oring dresses as a 1960s secretary, sets up a portable public office complete with a manual typewriter, and types cards to the President as dictated by passers-by. From 2004-06, she typed more than 1,000 cards to President Bush. This fall she begins a new version of the show in which she invites people to dictate postcards to the next president.
