Posture holds the art of performance in very high regard. It is therefore with pleasure that the magazine will collaborate with Go! Push Pops to bring you further insight into the performance art world on a monthly basis.
The Push Pops are a radical feminist collective under the direction of Katie Cercone (b. 1984 Santa Rosa, California) and Elisa Garcia de la Huerta (b. 1983 Santiago, Chile). The Push Pops formed at the School of Visual Art where both Cercone and Garcia obtained their MFA in 2011. The Push Pops have shown their interactive multi-media sculptures and performances in free public art festivals and underground galleries throughout the greater Metropolitan area since April of 2010. Last year, the collective received NYFA Fiscal Sponsorship for their upcoming project ‘The Oral History of Ice Cream.’ In addition to their collaborative work the two each maintain personal practices. Elisa Garcia’s multidisciplinary process incorporates experimental painting, textile, photo and video. Katie Cercone does performative video sculpture around the Spirituality of Hip Hop.
