JERRI ALLYN
Jerri Allyn received an MA in Art and Community from Goddard College, Vermont. She also attended The Feminist Studio Workshop at The Women’s Building: A Public Center for Women’s Culture.
Allyn worked within the Feminist Art Movement, which strives to raise issues, invite dialogue and ultimately transform culture. She is best known as a founding member of “The Waitresses” (the performance art group) and “Sisters of Survival”, both of which were exhibited internationally.
She creates interactive installations and performance art events for site-oriented spaces that become a part of public life, building connections between various audiences and the art world. Most of her work is in a narrative or storytelling form and deals with communication theory. In allegiance to no particular medium, she uses the most appropriate form, depending on the ideas and intentions of a piece, working extensively in site-oriented public performance and installation art; audio, video and billboards; artists books, graphic multiples and page art.
