I’m very excited to announce that BUNNY GIRL has been selected by the wonderful Bideodromo Festival 2017, in Bilbao, Spain!
Still from the protestors segment of BUNNY GIRL…& Bunny Girl philosophy
I learned from the years of being so ill that I couldn’t lift my arms & legs, a dichotomy: to face the hard truth in the moment while still believing in positive possibilities to come & not getting jaded by the horrors of life. Our thoughts & beliefs assist in creating the future. We all need to remember what is possible & know with confidence that we will reform these racist corrupt systems, just like I rebuilt my body back from near death. We are powerful & it starts with “I have a dream” & not buying into the ugliness…
The CASUALTIES of CAPITALISM’S COMMERCE of TOXIC SUBSTANCES
To read more on the context and politics behind some of my work…check out my essay piece with the above title which can be found with these pieces on my website: Performance with Toxic Tee Pee (2007),
Pretend We’re Dead (2007) and OPUS EXTERNUS DOMICILIUM (2017)
“Clark’s Pirate Island Performance Series deliver us squarely into the dystopian reality of the ‘canary in the coal mine’ phenomenon, which people with Environmental Illness experience. These works depict living on the fringes of a society in denial about the increasing toxicity of the world. Along with Clark’s Poisoning/Phoenix Performance Documents series, and BUNNY GIRL, this series confronts the politics which sweep toxic contamination under the rug. They expose us to the casualties of capitalism’s commerce of toxic substances, the people (and animals, in BUNNY GIRL), which are treated as expendable to market gains…. “

Review: “A Playboy Bunny Navigates the Politics of Dystopia”
My response in the comments below to one of the points of this review which was based on an incorrect assumption about my race: “As the artist who made BUNNY GIRL & as a women who is mixed race & comes from a long line of not white & mixed race women, I wish the writer of this piece had done her research on me, before calling me out in regards to “white feminism”. Having tried to make sense of the traumas to myself and to my family lineage due to racism, through education in the liberal PC environment of Bay Area academia starting 30 yrs ago where I focused on women’s studies, I know the arguments presented in this piece all too well and my family has lived them. Thusly I am deeply offended by the main argument in this article. I thank Hyperallergic & the writer for seeing my piece fit for publishing a piece on, I am very grateful. However I just wish that if the writer wanted to make a piece on “white feminism” she would have used my unique vantage point as a mixed raced feminist in the argument instead of assuming I’m white, because I’m white passing. The pitfalls of our current super hyper PC culture is this tendency to cast stones at our own, eating them up till I’m concerned there will be nothing left. The irony is that my video comments on the deteriorating state of our shared biosphere and how the feminine is needed to rise in order to save us all, black, white, red, brown, yellow, fur covered and green (plants). We are all in this together.”
