Faye Driscoll is an award-winning art and performance maker hailed as a \u201cstartlingly original talent\u201d by The New York Times and \u201ca post-millennium postmodern wild woman\u201d by The Village Voice. She uses an alchemy of bodies, voices, objects and live sound to conjure worlds that are, like ourselves, alive and forever changeable. Through immersive, sensorial tableaux and perceptual disorientations, she aims to rile up the passive, numb, screened-out body. She was the 2021\u20132022 Randjelovic\/Stryker Resident Commissioned Artist at New York Live Arts and is the recipient of numerous honors, including a Doris Duke Award, Guggenheim Fellowship, Bessie Award, and the Jacob\u2019s Pillow Artist Award. In 2023, she received an Obie Award, followed by the Grand Prix at the 2024 Prix de la Danse de Montr\u00e9al for her performance, Weathering. Driscoll is the recipient of the 2026-27 Cynthia Hazen Polsky and Leon Polsky Rome Prize and will be a Rome Prize Fellow in Environmental Arts and Humanities at the American Academy in Rome in 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her work has been presented at leading cultural institutions and festivals worldwide, including Wexner Center for the Arts, REDCAT, ICA Boston, MCA Chicago, Jacob’s Pillow, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Kunstenfestivaldesarts, La Biennale di Venezia, Festival d\u2019Automne \u00e0 Paris, Melbourne Festival, Belfast International Arts Festival, Onassis Cultural Centre (Athens), Centro de Arte Experimental (Buenos Aires), Festival Dias da Dan\u00e7a (Porto), Festival TransAm\u00e9riques (Montreal), Athens Epidaurus Festival, Julidans (Amsterdam), and the Meteorite Autumn Festival (Tokyo).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
