\"AIn a solo exhibition of new and archival work, Katrina del Mar revels in her fascination and obsession with Feral Women: a riveting and immersive exhibition of photo portraits, filmed portraits, black velvet paintings and drawings. \u201cWomen expressing wildness, sometimes overt, sometimes subtle, is a manifestation of innate power. The high hard femme, the bad girl, the rocker, the biker, the surfer-selfie, are icons of a new feminist pantheon.\u201d The implied mirror or screen, a disrupted transmissive surface for exploring known and newly discovered selves via queer selfie drawings and filmed portraits, challenge accepted norms of representation.<\/p>\n

Artist Biography: Katrina del Mar<\/h2>\n

is a New York-based photographer, video artist, writer, and award-winning film director. Katrina del Mar is perhaps best known for her decades-long work in video and photography, chronicling the reality and illusion of her Lower East Side friends and lovers as punk heroines; or within her girl gang movie world of strictly female population. Creating a family tree indebted equally to B-movies and diaristic photography, del Mar\u2019s defiantly queer photographs and videos are iconic alternatives to the cultural status quo, offering an exuberant, hyper-stylized sexuality, an unapologetic feminist voice, and often guerilla-style production tactics. Her solo exhibition GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS<\/em> was presented in January 2013 at Participant Inc. in New York. Del Mar has shown her critically acclaimed \u201cGirl Gang Trilogy<\/em>\u201d of films internationally, including venues such as the Museum for Contemporary Art (CAPC), Bordeaux, France, the Fringe Film Festival, London, UK, 2012; the MoMA Dome 2 in Rockaway Beach.
\nDel Mar\u2019s work has garnered numerous awards including a fellowship in video from the New York Foundation for the Arts.<\/p>\n
