Lorraine O'Grady (born 1934 in Boston) is a New York-based, American conceptual artist, who has worked in the areas of performance art and photo and video installation. Her work focuses on universal and timeless values in topical issues such as diaspora, hybridity, and black female subjectivity. It also attempts a shift in art discourse to show how these topics have influenced the history of modernism. == Work == O'Grady studied economics and literature at Wellesley College before becoming an artist in 1980.〔Linda M. Montano, ''Performance Artists Talking in the Eighties'', University of California Press, 2000, p513. ISBN 0-520-21022-0〕 In the 1980s, she created the adopted persona of Mlle Bourgeoise Noire'' Her strongly feminist work has been widely exhibited, particularly in New York and Europe. O'Grady's early Mlle Bourgeoise Noire'' O'Grady first exhibited at age 45, after successful careers among others as a government intelligence analyst, translator, and rock critic—may have contributed to unusually broad perspective in her work as both an artist and writer. In addition to articles she has written for publications such as Artforum Magazine and Art Lies, her canonical essay, "Olympia's Maid: Reclaiming Black Female Subjectivity," has now been anthologized numerous times, most recently in Amelia Jones, ed, ''The Feminism and Visual Culture Reader'', (2nd Edition, Routledge, 2010). She lives and works in the Meatpacking District of New York City. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lorraine O'Grady」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
