Artwork Description: Two original drawings depicting the original choreography of CHAOS MASS. CHAOS MASS is an event of relentless momentum, featuring a 22-foot I-Beam and two, 160 pound concrete filled metal pipes that are typically used to support building structures but have since been retrofitted to withstand the force and friction imposed by STREB’s Action Heroes. The irascible and dangerous equipment twists, swings, and staggers, cutting through the space as the dancers dodge, duck, and defy the blunt force and razor edge.
Artist Biography: Elizabeth Streb, has dived through glass, walked down London's City Hall, dumped a ton of dirt on her head, and set herself on fire, among many other feats of extreme action. She founded the STREB Extreme Action CompanyX in 1979 and established SLAM (STREB Lab for Action Mechanics) in Brooklyn, NY in 2003. Streb holds a MA in Humanities and Social Thought from New York University, a BS in Modern Dance from SUNY Brockport, and honorary doctorates from SUNY Brockport, Rhode Island College and Otis College of Art and Design and has received numerous honors including the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation 'Genius' Award, the Guggenheim Fellowship, a Doris Duke Artist Award and a USA Fellowship Award.
Streb’s drawings, machines, and choreography have been the focus of exhibitions at the George Segal Gallery, Montclair State University, The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, and Neuberger Museum. Her artwork has also been featured in PEAK Journal, Provincetown Arts, and Performing Arts Journal. A board member of the Jerome Foundation, Streb has been a featured speaker at TED2018: The Age of Amazement, BRAINWAVE at The Rubin Museum, TEDxMET, the Institute for Technology and Education, POPTECH, the Institute of Contemporary Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Rochester Institute of Technology, the Association of Performing Arts Presenters, the Penny Stamps Speaker Series, Chorus America, on NPR's Science Friday, and she gave the 2019 Commencement Speech at Otis College for Art and Design. Streb was profiled by Alec Wilkinson in an extended essay for the New Yorker magazine, was featured in the Smithsonian Magazine (“The New American Circus”), and in 2019 was featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. Streb is the subject of two documentaries: Born to Fly, directed by Catherine Gund (Aubin Pictures), which premiered at the SXSW Festival and was featured at the Film Forum in NYC and OXD, directed by Craig Lowy, which premiered at Doc NYC. In 20I0, Feminist Press published her book, STREB: How to Become an Extreme Action Hero. Credit: Artwork donated by Artist.
