Ladies Night in Lascaux is a dual-person exhibition that includes sculpture, garments, video, and installation vignettes that visually and physically challenge historical narratives around artistic and cultural authorship. The title of the exhibition playfully references the location of Paleolithic cave paintings in France, the theater of a nightclub, and the misconception that the first artists were men. Through varied approaches both artists explore and mutate the body to perform the role of maker, female, usher, musician, magician, icon, or muse in order to shift comfortable contemporary archetypes and myths. The works highlight the function of objects and bodies as they become performers on the stage of our collective experience.
