Baroque angels scream in the masquerade of heaven/ counting limbs collected and framed/ betwixt by a patriarchal bible standing on ten legs/ moral tales taken for literal interpretation….

Curatorial Projects
Carron co-founded Out of Site Chicago in 2011. At the start of the pandemic she invited artists in the Out of Site community to create a live stream performance partnering with Experimental Sound Studio. As part of this production she invited one of her grad students and one of the international artists to collaborate. Since May 2020 the community has evolved into an artist collective and are engaged in bi-weekly meetings. These meetings created the idea for Flow, embody • in site, an annual practice-led research symposium on public performance art practice organized by Out of Site artist collective. We are currently organizing Flow 2023 that will be a hybrid format with in-person workshops in Chicago & Rotterdam. To find out about this year’s program please visit the website.
