Show Notes

This week, Virginia Warwick joins Nicole to talk about her creative practice as an interdisciplinary artist and performer. A prankster at heart, Virginia weaves her connection to and affection for animals with whimsical, dark, and deadpan comedic energy in her performance series “Olivia the Sea Turtle.” Virginia offers audiences a unique – and at times hilarious – experience that blurs conventional distinctions between performance art, stand up comedy, and musicianship.

Virginia received her M.F.A. from the Rinehart School of Sculpture at MICA, and has shown her work at such places as the Arlington Arts Center, ConnerSmith, Edison Place Gallery, Hood College, Goucher College. City Arts Gallery, Metro Gallery, Creative Alliance, E.M.P Collective, Current Gallery, 14kt Cabaret, Ruby Projects and Visarts at Rockville. She has been included in the Transmodern Festival in Baltimore multiple years and has participated in Brooklyn International Performance Arts Festival in New York City Infridgement Festival in Buffalo, New York. She recently attended the La Baldi artist residency in Montegiovi, Italy. Virginia currently teaches and creates artwork in Baltimore, Maryland.
