FREE EVENT

Now entering its third year, Low Lives is an international exhibition of live performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected in real time at multiple venues throughout the U.S. and around the world. Produced and curated by Jorge Rojas,  Low Lives examines works that critically investigate, challenge, and extend the potential of performance practice presented live through online broadcasting networks. This year Low Lives promises to be the farthest reaching to date with 23 presenting partners in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, Germany, India, Tanzania, Brazil and Japan.

Low Lives has formed a strategic partnership with Chez Bushwick, an artist-run organization based in Brooklyn, New York dedicated to the advancement of interdisciplinary art and performance, with a strong focus on new choreography. Chez Bushwick is co-producing Low Lives 3 and is instrumental in extending the platform’s international reach.

The Austin version will feature a live performance by Katelena Hernandez.  Info below:

Mixed Media and Performance

Comfort Sessions are an offgrowth from Hernandez's larger Lullaby Project, in which she is invited to homes to sing: for crying babies, for those who have insomnia, for those who are sick, for those who are dying, for those who are lonely, for those who are perverts, for those who are frightened, for those who need something but don’t know what.



Katelena Hernandez lives and works in Austin. She has a degree in Studio Art from Yale University and has been involved in the arts in Austin for more than a decade. Information on her projects can be found at www.katelenahernandez.net.
