Lorraine O'Grady
Lorraine O'Grady, Assistant Professor of
Studio Art and African American Studies at the University of California,
Irvine, is a photo-installation and performance artist, writer and critic
whose work deals with issues of hybridity, diaspora, cultural politics, and
black female subjectivity. Her earliest performances, done in 1980, were
Mlle Bourgeoise Noire and Nefertiti/Devonia Evangeline. In 1991, she
extended the preoccupations of the performances to photo-installation works
which employed the diptych form as a “both/and” critique of Western
“either/or” dualist philosophy. Her current project, Flowers of Evil and
Good, is a "novel-in-space" which explores the relationship of Charles
Baudelaire, the French poet and founder of modernism, and Jeanne Duval, his
Haitian common-law wife, in a 16-diptych installation of digitally produced
cibachromes.
