“A home-wrecking good time” MAD Museum
Artist Jaimie Warren, winner of the 2014 Baum Award for Emerging American Photographer and co-founder of Whoop Dee Doo, showed her most recent community collaboration piece, Flaccid Domesticity, on April 16th at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City. In all of her work, Jaimie collaborates with new and surprising aspects of her local community.
For Flaccid Domesticity, Jaimie worked with furniture and industrial designer Katie Stout and a soul acapella group called The Tee-Tones, as well as many underserved local teens. They worked for ten days putting together dances, music and sets for Flaccid Domesticity. This piece explored the question with teens “how hard is your home life?” In conjunction with Whoop Dee Doo’s performance the evening included a musical performance by artists Colin Self and a dance-work by artist Jordan Isadore. In untraditional style of Jaimie Warren and her collaborators, Flaccid Domesticity blends entertainment with a questioning of domestic norms.
