In 2010 the curator Laurence Kardish Bodycast: asked me to give a lecture on my work at the Museum of Modern Art. Rather than just do a normal artist lecture, An Artist Lecture by where an artist runs through a bunch Suzanne Bocanegra of slides of her paintings and sculpture, BAM I thought I would make a new piece Starring out of the idea of an artist lecture, an Frances McDormand artist lecture about an artist lecture. In the course of that new piece I ended up telling a larger story—how I became an artist and how when I was 10 a New York Premiere strange series of events in my Catholic church showed me how an artist really TEXT AND VISUALS worked. Suzanne Bocanegra I did the lecture with an actor, Paul Lazar, and the resulting piece—When SOUND DESIGN a Priest Marries a Witch, an Artist Jamie McElhinney Lecture by Suzanne Bocanegra Star- ring Paul Lazar—ended up having LIGHTING DESIGN several performances at museums and Laura Mroczkowski theater festivals across the country. To one of these performances Paul invited GUEST APPEARANCES Frances McDormand. They had worked Theo Bleckmann together at the Wooster Group. Fran Emily Coates came and took us out for beers after- Proud supporter of BAM wards, and she asked me if there were MUSIC SUPERVISION any more stories I was planning on David Lang telling in this format. I told her I was planning one about how I grew up vis- iting my grandparents farm, which was next to the most famous whorehouse in Texas, and one about how I spent my early teenage years in a bodycast. Fran said, “I’ll take the bodycast.” Bodycast: An Artist Lecture by Suzanne Bocanegra Starring Frances McDormand premiered at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh.
