This French artist combines performance, video and installation into site-specific productions whose point can often appear elusive, but which seem to focus on the idea of the body as the contested terrain between public and private selves. In one work for example, she reenacted the club act of Josephine Baker, the African-American cabaret star who enthralled Jazz Age Paris. In her version, Reynaud-Dewar danced in the nude, covered in what could only be described as full-body blackface. For her first U.S. museum show, she'll be presenting new work.
