WHITE @ FREIGHT+VOLUME, JUNE 23 – JULY 30, 2011.\
Artists’ reception Thursday, June 23rd, 6-8pm.
The life of an artist can be a nomadic one, for any number of reasons, amongst them
financial, emotional and spiritual. In many instances, artists find more support and
camaraderie in large urban areas, and for quite a few all roads eventually lead to New
York (or London or Berlin). The four artists comprising “Migration”, the summer show
opening June 23rd at Freight+Volume, are no exception.

Genevieve White is a performance artist living and working in New York City, originally from Montreal.
She works with video, photography, painting, drawing, installations and performance. Her interest in the
absurdity of repetitive gestures, body language, and consciousness are the grounds on which she creates her
visual vocabulary. I am interested in what moves people. I feel things I don't understand, my energy leading
the boat. Extremity creates necessity which brings anyone close to their core, where imagination grows and
finds truth. I want to expose just that.
She was born in Montreal, Canada in May of 1983. White attended Parsons the New School for Design from
2007-2009. She received her M.F.A.
She has been shown in group exhibitions at The Kitchen, 151 Gallery, Artist’s Space, Envoy Enterprises,
Cooper Union and has performed at the Summer Stage Festival, the Whitney Museum, Deitch, Perfoma
festival, the Neuberger Museum, the Rover, and the New Museum.
I use my body to test my limits and expose my vulnerability. I am interested in the states of repression and
freedom, identity shifts and body language. I wrap my head entirely with yarn, obstructing my senses, which
becomes a heavy head. I finally stretch the twine away with my hands to free myself from my mask until I re-
appear. The rope or the things that bind us is also what can make us free. A symbolic nature and abstraction
drives most of my performances. Navigating from the inside out, I try to unravel truths and myths about others
and myself. I am interested in using the body as a map, a vessel, a container, a follower, an interdependent
and independent being that impacts its environment.
