INTERROGATING DIVERSITY
an exhibition at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Betty Rymer Gallery
280 South Columbus Drive
Chicago, IL 60603

February 1 to March 14, 2002

“Cultural diversity is both a fact of modernity and its destination. How social diversity is conceptualized determines how we negotiate sexual, cultural, racial, geographic, and national differences. The term “diversity” is employed to achieve differing aesthetic, political and social ends by artists and cultural workers. Interrogating Diversity represents multiple approaches to these concerns while also investigating the meaning and strategies of these approaches.”

Curated by Jorge Felix, Regan Grusy, Richard Hunt, and Laurie Palmer

Termite TV’s installation includes the shows:
Native Alien, Life Stories from Alaska, Violent, Life Stories from the Borderlands, Money,Telekinetics, Life Stories from Philadelphia, Rollover and Life Stories from the Big Island, Hawaii.

Created in collaboration with Bad Penny Productions and programmed in the 2001 Philadelphia Fringe Festival, this live multimedia theater performance turns its cold eye on the sordid atmosphere of a publishing company in the throes of “workforce reduction”. The (melo)drama and the pathos of corporate love and paranoia are closely monitored for all to enjoy. With generous audience interaction! Fun!

Starring Corinna Burns, William Collins, Deb Disbrow, Kurt Runco and Bill Rayhill.
