Lisa Anita Wegner

Fragments of the past merge into a persona of the present and point the way to the future in this unique transformation that will take place at the Black Cat on July 31^st. Artist Lisa Anita Wegner draws upon decades-old pop-culture inspirations to create a new, living art piece, and a revolution that will be shared in real time with patrons on opening night.

The experience will continue through the week, as Lisa brings her art practice into the studio space, allowing visitors to see her intuitive, in-the-moment style as she works with event video to further explore the full meaning of Stardust.

As a special bonus, the Closing Party on August 6^th will feature a homecoming for the Queen of the Parade, after her gala appearances in Nuit Blanche and ArtRageous in Motion. Don?t miss this spectacular installation as she gets ?Stardusted? for one night only.

A one-of-a-kind event, Stardust: Life On Jupiter? incorporates the focus on re-birth, redemption, transformation, and search for truth through the adoption of personae that has been a key part of Lisa Anita Wegner?s art practice in her journey to reclaim her life from the personal darkness into which she was plunged six years ago.
