No More Flowers

What if Sigmund Freud visited the studio of Georgia O’Keeffe? In No More Flowers, O'Keeffe is completing her latest work the famed 'Black Iris' which sends Freud into deep analysis. This play is for those that have felt misunderstood, those that have felt the weight of societal judgment, and those of us tired of being told who we are.

    I love the notion that what we see in a work of art is a projection of ourselves, imposing meaning from our own subjective stance, and often how much we (well, men in this case) decide what it is we want to see based on our prescribed notion of an artist based on their gender/sex. Freud, man. Dans Hall turns Freud (and by extension, Lacan) on his head. Mulvey-esque joy. I highly recommend this play!

    Sometimes a flower is just a flower. Sometimes the interpretation of a piece of art says more about the viewer than the artist. Sometimes Freud is just Freud. This drama about objectification and interpretation is laced with moments of true comedy. You’ll love this show and if you have an art degree, like me, you’ll love it even more. This brilliant work deserved to be staged.

    Given my art history background, I find myself greatly amused by DANA HALL's short piece NO MORE FLOWERS. I adore the idea of FREUD throwing his theories upon O'KEEFFE, just as many viewers do when examining her work. Is he right? Who knows, but sometimes a flower is just a flower, and O'KEEFFE has had enough of the patriarchal lens. Brilliant.
