Pat Oleszko makes a spectacle of herself--and doesn't mind if you laugh. Following absurdity to its unnatural ends, her work includes elaborate costumes, props and inflatables all incorporated into solo performantz, film, installations with lithe accompaniment, spatial events with the cast-off thousands, intervent-shuns, and street/walking--ever in heavy dis-guise. From the personal to the political, the work is an exorcise thru humor. Call it satire, subtle-tease or insubordination, it's jest pedaling her-selves, on and off the stage,pumping irony, and disparately trying to bring home the beacon.
