GUTTED showcases a daring ensemble of live performance, texts and objects speaking of, from and to the body. With a roster of creative talent spanning thirty years of live performance, GUTTED illustrates an array in which the body has been addressed by artists over a chronology of performance. This chronology reveals punctuations and cycles as performance artists have interpreted ideas and issues surrounding: many of the -isms, domesticity and labor, AIDS, race, social activism, war, queerness, straightness, bodybuilding and body destruction, identities, counteracting (and sometimes creating) boredom, sexualities, fantasy & grotesquerie. Performance continues to be powerful as it furthers the celebration that there is no conclusion and there are no answers.
