About the Artist
Chloé Rossetti is an interstitial performance and video artist living in New York City. Antagonistic toward any one discipline, and strongly invested in the discourses around embedded art practices, “authenticity,” reparative performance, self-presentation and lying, she mobilizes her body into different performance personas, as real as real people, on various live and online platforms, to disrupt unquestioned modes of performed or presented identity. Her work, ultimately, makes room for bodies, identities and gender expressions, both gross and fine, outrageous and subtle, termed too “difficult” to be contained by pre-existing power and media structures.
