Through an interdisciplinary practice spanning performance, video, and installation, Angela Washko investigates the effects of consumerism and materialism in creating the foundations of American lifestyle. In her most recent works, Washko satirically utilizes imagery reminiscent of the French Rococo to question the era’s notion of beauty achieved through the excessive accumulation of frivolous objects and draws parallels to contemporary American society’s limited depiction of women and sex-driven marketing tactics. A backlash against planned obsolescence, her film sets and installations are constructed with items recovered from dumpsters and Dollar-Store materials marketed as disposable.
Washko is a current artist-in-residence at Flux Factory and has recently completed residencies at The Contemporary Artists Center at Woodside, and The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally including most recently The Rotterdam International Film Festival, Carnival of e-Creativity in New Dehli, Videopolis in Barcelona, The New Media Festival in Cologne, The Self Destructing Art Show at Flux Factory, and The Budapest Short Film Festival. Additionally, Washko currently holds the position of Residency Coordinator at Flux Factory.
