Selected Solo and Collaborative Work

[edit]

Participation in the 2014 Whitney Biennial

[edit]

A.L. Steiner describes her installation-based work in this year’s Whitney Biennial—More Real than Reality Itself (2014)[5]—beginning as “a conduit to viewing other subjective histories” which has become “a platform for questioning intentionality and the relationship [Steiner has] to documentary or archival forms—a fragile and precarious place for both the object and subject.” [6]

Community Action Center

[edit]

In 2007 A.L. Steiner and A.K. Burns began working on Community Action Center —a 69 minute socio-sexual video utilizes erotics to express the personal sexual and political lives in the group. Filmed around New York State and Los Angeles the work was completed in 2010. [7] [8]

In 2013 Burns and Steiner took the video on a 14 city screening tour—Community Action Center or BUST!: The X-Cuntry Summer Tour—the spanned ten states. The year’s experiences culminated in an evening performance at The Kitchen, NY, in October of 2013 with a live score by Justin Vivian Bond, Nick Hallett with Sam Miller, K8 Hardy, and other artists from the Community Action Center soundtrack.[9][10]
