SYNOPSIS

Welcome to a strange scene: a humanoid bird, a basket of eggshells, a word spelled out on the floor… sounds and words float in the air. The creature lies down to dream…but, oh oh – what does it do in its unconscious sleep? The pop up performance art piece Fragile Eggsistence beacons you into an absurd metaphoric world as it riffs on the tenuous grip we hold on life and our capacity to blindly crush and destroy our constructed reality, our planet and ecosystems that support it.

Artist and arts educator Catherine Butler has been creating curiosities for the world to view, explore and wear for decades. She aims to bring thought provoking delight to her audiences. In addition to installation and performance art, Butler is also known for her jewelry, costumes, drawings and prints. A native Clevelander, she holds a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and has been active in Cleveland’s creative community since the early 1980’s. Her work can be found in the collections of the in the Danner Foundation's Die Neue Sammlung, which is permanently housed in the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, Germany, the Racine Art Museum in Wisconsin, and the Ohio Craft Museum.
