Tara Mateik

Gender Identity Insurgent, TARA MATEIK, visiting Washington,
got bit by a biological agent, in the form of a dog, a border collie.
Not so funny, actually, he got bit in the face & required 26 stitches –
let’s hope the photos from his smash performance – “The Society of
Biological Insurgents” which posted in Art Lovers Photos (2005-04-20)
will cheer him up.

Tara’s performance, was curated by Lauren Cornell, and presented
as part of her DARE series, at FOXY PRODUCTION on Dec 11, 2004.
It was DARE #1 and it was received with great acclaim.

Tara also had a short, extremely lively, video, ‘Intersecticide’, presented at The Kitchen,
as part of: Alter Ego – An Evening of Short Video Works, on
April 19th, 2005. This program was curated by Lauren Cornell
and Henriette Huldisch. photos of the event can be found in Art Lovers Photos
