Pink Loves Consent, December 2012

Project Media
About This Project

Report

Overview

“PINK loves CONSENT” was a web-based prank that made consent go viral and sparked an internet revolution. My collaborative duo FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture pretended to be Victoria’s Secret promoting a new line of consent-themed, anti-rape panties. The action and internet aftermath got millions of people talking about consent, rape culture, and the sexual empowerment of women.

Report

Overview

On the eve of the last presidential debate, FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture projected “RAPE IS RAPE” onto the US Capitol Building along with stories of survivors. The text tells the experience of survivors, which in a national conversation about the politics of rape, have eerily been left out. The project was a collaboration with the art/activist collective Luminous Intervention.

Report

Overview

As an artist in residence for the Begehungen Arts Festival in Germany I had access to a recently closed and empty prison for three weeks. I asked women incarcerated in the Baltimore, MD and Chemnitz Germany what they would like to see some one do in a prison if that person were free to do anything. I video-taped myself performing their requests. These are my videos.

or in What Weekly Magazine at http://whatweekly.com/2010/11/17/darb-tv-at-current-gallery/

Saddle up those kiddos and ride â??em on over, because its time for an educational, magical, mystery-solving TV adventure! What does the note trapped in the magic bottle read? How do you break its spell? Why did Rebecca throw up? How many people in the audience have been raped? With puppets, musical bits, dreams and audience participation, our family will attack these questions and so much more in this hour of dark and disturbing comedy the kids will love. Not only will your little tikes be delighted by bug movies, healthy snacks and commercial breaks, but their brains will grow! Yes, all the fun here in Darb TV land comes with an educational, magical mission. We promise to improve your babies by showing them how to eat bruschetta, douche their vaginas, and heal from childhood sexual abuse. Grounded in feminist critique and delivered with colorful puppets, Darb TV is a sexy, subversive satire the whole family needs to see.

A Dozen Things I want to do on stage, 2009

Report

Overview

"A Dozen Things I want to do on stage" is a one woman cabaret. The performance combines 1920's political European cabaret with 1970's feminist performance art to make an interactive variety show about sexuality, desire, the body, violence, and power. Of the dozen things, Nagle will undress to "Wenn Ich Mir Was WÃ¼nschen DÃ¼rfte", fit in a small box, tell your secrets, discuss why something is racist, fall in love, read her fantasies, act out your fantasies, induce a tragedy, fall down, take truth serum while letting the audience ask her questions, tell a tall tale, and disembowel herself.

Report

Overview

New Outfits placed decorative cloaks made by communities in Baltimore over the monuments in the parks of Mount Vernon Place. These decorative cloaks temporarily re-dressed the monuments of General Lafayette, George Peabody, Severn Teackle Wallis, Roger B. Taney, and John Eager Howard. New Outfits were made in workshops by diverse groups of Baltimore community centers and resident groups, in which the artist, Rebecca Nagle, acted as an educator and a facilitator. New Outfits gives people access to the power that the monuments symbolize.

Actions To Relate, 2007

Project Media
About This Project

Add to Favorites Post a Comment

Report

Overview

Actions to Relate is a performance of controlled physical interactions between the artist and participants. On a table are 60 cards with commands, such as "Hug me." or "Give me a high five." The commands range from benign to sexual, to violent. Participants pick a card, hand the card to the artist and then the artist performs that command on the participant's body. The artist stands in a red square; she is not allowed to leave and no one else may enter. Participants stand in a blue square. When they want the interaction to end they leave the blue square. Participants are not allowed to perform actions on the artist's body; they may only receive actions from the artist.
