“There are so many facets to marriage including desire, avoidance, struggles for rights, and struggles involving individuality and property,” said artist Emily Sloan. “I am looking forward to the experience of the sharing of unique views through interviews, vows, and pseudo-contracts. The ceremony itself will then be the icing on the cake where the audience can vocalize and share their interpretations with a group.”
Organizer/Host/Blessed Reverend: Internationally unknown artist, Emily Sloan has projects including Napping Affects Performance (NAP), a participation and performance project hosted live for six weeks at Art League Houston and ongoing in Houston, east Texas, and upstate New York; Wash and Hair Wash (a benefit for Japan), public, all day performances hosted by Gallery 1724 (Houston); Salon des Refusés: artwork rejected from Lawndale Art Center's The BIG Show (2010-2011); Funeral Party, a life and death experience performed at 14 Pews, January 1, 2011 (upcoming again in 2012); TX BI 2011; a public art project for Art League Houston to be unveiled later this summer, and is the artist-in-residence at 14 Pews where the Southern Naptist Convention was recently hosted.
