"Angela Ellsworth: Underpinnings" Opening at Lisa Sette Gallery

In a performance mounted during the opening of "Angela Ellsworth: Underpinnings" at Lisa Sette Gallery on January 8, 2008, young women posing as "sister wives" circulated through the crowd both inside and outside the gallery. They were dressed in long granny dresses associated with the Fundamentalist Church of Latterday Saints and sported the poufy 19th century hairstyle the sister wives have made famous in recent days. Each sister wife slowly acted out parts from famous performance pieces by women artists created in the 1960s, 70s and 80s.
