An Inclusive Litany

1/1/92

Newsweek General Editor Laura Shapiro on performance artist Karen Finley, August 6, 1990:
For the next 90 minutes the woman who has become an unwilling symbol of publicly funded obscenity proceeds to make her accusers look awfully silly.... Midway through the show, and without fanfare, she takes off her dress to reveal a black corset. She pours Jell-O into the bra cups, and sashays around the table with her breasts jiggling obediently.
