Exclusive Episode #070: Artist Joyce Pensato discusses her experiences appearing as a performer in Oliver Herring's videos. The work, which also features participant Davis-Thompson Moss, is the first in a series of Oliver Herring videos that feature the pair of performers.

Among Oliver Herrings earliest works were his woven sculptures and performance pieces in which he knitted Mylar, a transparent and reflective material, into human figures, clothing and furniture. Since 1998, Herring has created stop-motion videos, photo-collaged sculptures, and impromptu participatory performances with off-the-street strangers, embracing chance and chance-encounters in his work.

00:00:22 I met Oliver. We were showing at the same gallery and we were friends and Oliver started this, his video a couple years ago

00:00:33 and I have been always happy to be part of it.

00:00:42 We all met at the Bedford Avenue at the second hand store, the Salvation Army, to pick out a dress for me and I think that broke some sort of ice that you know getting together and doing this project.

00:00:55 We didn’t quite know where it was going to go, but I think the dress brought on some spirit in the whole production.

00:01:08 Oliver is my director, my super director. I always called my Fellini or you know Scorsese

00:01:17 but he is my main guy, so I tried to just get into it and follow his direction as best as I could.

00:01:32 I feel it's not even me in it, it's just this character. There's certain parts, I just breakout laughing.
