Bio Info for Lauren Hinkson and Pippi Zornoza:

Lauren Hinkson is the Assistant Curator for Collections at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York. She conducts permanent collection research with a focus on contemporary and time-based art. She also works closely with the museum’s acquisition committees and has recently begun to work on presentations of works from the Guggenheim collection for venues in Europe. In 2009, Hinkson served as Assistant Curator on the collection exhibition, Paired, Gold: Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Roni Horn. Prior to joining the Guggenheim, she was a senior cataloguer for the Department of Prints and Illustrated Books at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Hinkson received a BA in the History of Art and Architecture from Brown University.

Pippi Zornoza is an artist, musician, performer and co-founder of the Dirt Palace in Providence Rhode Island. She is characterized by the incredible variety of media in which she works. The extreme intricacy and meticulousness of her work evidence a system of self imposed rules bordering on the obsessive. This maniacally disciplined approached manifests printmaking, embroidery, lace making, carving, knitting, musical performance, installation, sewing and drawing. You may see her work here. Her printmaking work has been exhibited in the United States as well as Japan, Argentina, Columbia and Sweden,and was published in the art-poster anthology, , The Art of Modern Rock. As a performer, Pippi is known for her frightening performance style which manifests the undernourished expression of female power. Her performance is extreme in its physical execution and emotional intensity, using standard instrumentation and costuming as well as entirely original techniques involving samples, triggers, contact mics, live vocal looping, and pre-recorded sound. In 2004 she formed the musical performance project Bonedust, with musician/composer Chrissy Wolpert. Bonedust toured the US in 2006 and is featured in the Corleone Records 10 year anniversary DVD "Everything I own in Either Broken or Bent". Formed out of a mutual period of desperation, VVLTVRE a collaboration with Annapurna Himal Wagner began performing in 2007. VVLTVRE'S debut release is slated on Corleone Records this year. Other musical projects of hers include: Throne of Blood (2002-03) released on Corleone Records; Sawzall (2001-02); and the ongoing solo projects, Master Pizor (songs for the heartbroken, horny and metalheads). Pippi is also the star in the cult movie classic, Die You Zombie Bastards, directed by Caleb Emerson. Someday she will direct and perform in a musical where she will star as death.
