Description

Brooklyn based performance artist Narcissister is infamous around the world for her shocking and transgressive performances, which the New York Times dubbed "avant porn".  Growing up as a mixed-race child in La Jolla, the artist experienced hate crimes and discrimination first hand.  Feeling like the ultimate outsider, she began to look inward and recontextualize the world around her.  With her identity shrouded behind a plastic mask, Narcissister currently creates work that confronts oppression, tackles taboo subjects and challenges cultural notions of race, gender, and sexuality.  She's accomplished this across multiple platforms -- from museums and galleries to nightclubs and experimental art spaces.  She's even appeared on America's Got Talent.
