Bio:
Carrie Dashow is an interdisciplinary working in the intersection of performance and video. Through combining and reading space, interaction and energy with an anthropological, formalist and geomantic slant, Ms. Dashow creates content. Her work reveals the subliminal as a counterpoint to everyday existence by employing concepts that contest fact-based reality. Using available public tools a greeting, an island, building, friend, forest, map, history, camera Carrie examines the undercurrent of visible space, which result in tactile, experiential and more real than real performance and video. Much of her work takes place in social and collective situations, either on the street, in communities, relationships and even classes. Her participatory-style performances amongst diverse audiences in turn reveal a momentary sense of community and possibility. Her work plays with our psychological understanding of reality, replacing what we see inside out.
Ms. Dashow holds a Masters degree in Integrated Electronic Arts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a BFA in Video and Performance from the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited at venues internationally from St. Petersburg, Seoul, Paris and Berlin to New York, L.A. and Pittsburg, PA. Including P.S. 1/MOMA, UCLA Hammer Museum, ExitArt, Jessica Murray Projects, Eyebeam, Andy Warhol Museum, in mines, public parks, campervans and her living room. Projects include: hello, a personal quest to greet a million people, Negotiable Camera Ensemble, Dividiation an interactive video divination dvd device to be released through CollectivEye this winter, Subliminal History of New York State. Artist Residencies include; ETC, LMCC, CAC, Woman's Studio Workshop. Awards include: Merit scholarship; RPI, Finishing Funds; Experimental Television Center (ETC), Radio and Sound art Grant; Media Alliance.
