Artist(s): Karen Finley
Date: December 3, 1986-December 6, 1986
Examining themes of excess and deprivation, The Constant of State is a full length performance monologue exploring today's libidinal landscape of pain, pleasure, politics, and sexual/social roles. Employing her trademark high-voltage performance style, a gallery of fractured personas, an arrya of fragile consumer goods, and a pleasant living room environment, Karen Finley charts the psycho-sexual frontiers of today's society, where desire is produced, disseminated but never satiated. A raw and uncompromising performer, Karen Finley reached uncharted theatrical realms.
