Pat Oleszko
The Deportment of Corrections
Pat Oleszko makes a spectacle of herself—and doesn't mind if you laugh. The body is Oleszko's armature for ideas. Utilizing elaborate costumes and props, she has created lithe performances, films, and installations that include trees, knees, breasts, and elephants. She has worked from the popular art forms of the street, party, parade and burlesque house, to the Museum of Modern Art, from Sesame Street Magazine to Ms, Playboy, and Artforum.
Supported by the UM Department of Theatre & Drama, UM Institute for Research on Women & Gender, the Ann Arbor Film Festival, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit.
