Tatarsky (she/they) make performances at the unfortunate in-between zone of performance art, comedy, dance-theater and deluded rant — sometimes with songs. They perform their work and the work of others at venues including La Mama ETC, MoMA PS1, New Museum, PSNY, The Kitchen, Howl!, Gibney, Skirball, Judson Church, Brooklyn Museum, FringeArts, The Glove and many bars and basements. Writings on spambot lyricism, bootleg t-shirt poetry, and miming as an anti-capitalist gesture can be found in The New Inquiry, Hypocrite Reader, ArtReview Asia, Garlands, Spike, and Folder. Interests include identity construction, humor & the abyss, complicity & self-loathing, meaninglessness, parades, and acrylic nails. They teach on mask performance, holy fools, and performance as a form of community organizing. Their work with Shanzhai Lyric archives and celebrates the innovative nonstandard English of counterfeit garments as a mode of ecriture feminine and has taken the form of installations, publications, group readings, interventions, and talks at Abrons Arts Center, Women's Art Library, Stuart Hall Library, and Clearview. @tar-tar.biz / @shanzhai_lyric
