OYA DAMLA in performance at Satellite Art Show x Performance is Alive Miami 2021 🌴🌴

The Weight of Pleasure.
This piece consists of an evolving, site-specific sound installation with the intention of creating a visceral yet purely visual symbology of existential self awareness set against an invisible, sonic spectrum of self abandon.

Oya Damla is a conceptual artist based in Brooklyn, NY working within the intersection of performance, installation and sound art. Rooted in conceptual frameworks ranging from phenomenology, gender, body dysmorphia to first / second generation immigrant identity studies, Damla's multidisciplinary practice works to explore the body in relation to thought formation, the experiential components of sound making and the process of identity navigation. Through the use of her own body as medium, some of her performances specifically work to subvert the eroticization of sexual experience within the context of a multidimensional experience of the self and ‘being in the world’.These frameworks occasionally function as her response to the hyper sexualization of the middle eastern woman as "exotic" or inherently erotic, often experienced in predominately white colonial/western environments and especially in Damla's personal life as a first generation Turkish-American.

Founder of The Ear, a performance arts venue / gallery / curatorial platform based in Brooklyn, Damla works towards creating a neutral, communal space charged with the intention of bringing together emerging & established artists of diverse backgrounds & disciplines.

MISS ART WORLD in performance (Guillotine) at Satellite Art Show x Performance is Alive Miami 2021 🌴 Ｍｉｓｓ Ａｒｔ Ｗｏｒｌｄ] 🌴 "Guillotine" is a Marie Antoinette-inspired hair installation sprawling up to the ceiling and imprisoning the artist below. The hair’s restraint is society’s obsession and unrealistic expectations for the “perfected” physical form. The hair installation is stuffed full of the influences and products used to achieve beautification. Using my experiences within the beauty industry and feeling their demand for long blonde hair this performance critiques dominating ideologies of beauty fused with the disturbing and obsessive struggle to obtain it.

Miss Art World is a Los Angeles-based conceptual interdisciplinary artist specializing in performance art that explores beauty, body image, and gender inequity. She completed her Bachelor of Fine Art from California State University, Bakersfield, and her Master of Fine Art from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY. Katherine was diagnosed with incurable eye disease at the age of ten and has struggled with her vision ever since. As Katherine’s vision started to deteriorate, the rejection and prejudices that arose from the academic environment led her to seek out other means of fulfillment. This came in the form of beauty pageants and modeling. She found acceptance within the beauty industry but this came with disturbing experiences and issues that she now uses to fight against within her art.
