Arts Associate, performance, digital print ID cards, 2012
Arts Associate is a performance in which four performers were hired to approach viewers like sales persons in a store. Performers explained the concept of the work to each viewer individually. In a sense, “Introducing the art work” became the work.
Each performer delivered the following text to the viewers:
This project
• is interested in including conventional ways of doing things in an “institution.” In this case: Introducing the work becomes “the work”.
• Refers to dematerialization in the art world, where artists created non-sale-able /objectless artworks.
• Refers to the works of art that went objectless to create institutional critique.
• Refers to object of desire, in Lacanian sense, the thing that we can never have.
Performers: Patty Farias | Lanie Chalmers | Brianna MacLellan | Sona Safaei | Jonathan Simpson

Bibliography, vinyl print@ Narwhal Art Projects, 2013
One: The Forms, Two: The Plural Tense, is a combination of art works which look into contemporary forms of relating, theoretical trauma, part/whole relationships, change in time and duration. These notions will be explored through number of videos installations and physical art objects. There will be two bodies of artworks consisting of different parts that constantly refer to each other and the entirety. Lanie Chalmers attempts to analyze the shaping of unstable identities and Sona Safaei studies the relationship between parts of an incomplete whole questioning how existing parts are related to each other.
