Amanda Mae was fired as a security guard at the Seattle Art Museum last week. Story here. I doubt there’s a museum in the country who would embrace her interventions, especially if said museum employed her.
On the other hand, I think it’s possible in the future she’ll be esteemed for other reasons.
Below, her restaging of an Egon Schiele drawing. What is out-of-control in the drawing becomes self-possession in her girl-in-charge self-portrait. Schiele’s figure wears her nerves on the outside of her body. Mae is solid. If she were a boat, no iceberg could sink her.
She looks like Ana Marie Cox.
