Jess Dobkin
I will be coming to class as Jess Dobkin, a New York based performance artist. I attended a talk she gave here at Bryn Mawr about a week ago and her work primarily focuses on gender and the female body. Several of her performances also utilize technology, but in very sexualized ways. In 2006, Dobkin performed the piece "Fee for Service" in which she inserted an electric pencil sharpener in her vagina and invited guests to sharpen their pencils for a small fee. Guests were also required to write in a guestbook with that pencil after they had it sharpened. Clearly, Dobkin's work is heavily influenced by both her gender and everyday technology.
