Exhibition
"My fervent desire with this exhibit Bad Boys: Portraits of Mediated Performance is to call up the imaginary, the symbolic, the structure and the soul that is the monolithic experience of masculinity." "I have attempted to lay out this experience in three aesthetic approaches - the salon, a collaged wall of chaos, an intermingling map of sorts of images, text and costumes. The second is the personal: inviting friends to reflect on their relationships with fathers, brothers, grandfathers, uncles, sons and husbands. The final addresses the way in which singular famous individuals are canonized from an explosion of tabloid material to the contextual cage that we participate in building for them."

Performance
"..The project's creation phase involves an ongoing three week performance activity of the artist negotiating her way singing through lower mainland neighbourhoods. The result of these encounters (through documentation will be then further developed into a fully interactive new media work (website) and DVD that allows the viewer to follow her sojourns on the landscape and experience her mappings from their own computer."

Performance
La Dragu has reinvented herself as Lady Justice channeling the Roman goddess Justita, the greek goddess Themis and the Egyptian goddess Ma'at to bring justice and jurisprudence to all!!!! While she has the scales she has lost the sword. This event is a benefit to get it back. It's a big problem as Ironing Man beloved leader of VisualEyes put it "Lady Justice is brave and true and looking fabulous but the strain is beginning to show. She is worried sick over the loss of her beloved Sword of Justice." Lady Justice will allow herself to be photographed with her fans for inclusion on her blog site for a small fee guaranteeing the participant immediate transformation into a mass media star. A small price to pay for Justice.

Exhibition, Performance, Screening
The performance iwll be about 30 to 40 minutes, part of the opening night and includes the video screening of The Fish Film, centered between the silver cloth panels. An important part are two slide projectors mounted at a 45 degree angle to the 'screen', containing specific slides (stills0 from the moving image. The video is projected not onto a screen, per se, but into wide sheets of quality drawing paper. My own actions consist of entering into the freeze-framed image of the film at which point the two projectors replicate the same image.
