Jess Dobkin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jess Dobkin (born 1970) is a performance artist living and working in Toronto, Canada.

In July 2006, she prepared a controversial work entitled Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar, in which participants were invited to sample human breast milk.[1]

Dobkin's often features her body "as a reference point" in her art. Previous events staged by Dobkin include The Two Boobs, a breast puppet show accomplished by painting faces on her breasts and attaching strings to her nipples, and Composite Body, in which she uses a dry-eraser board to create a self-constructed body.

Dobkin is openly lesbian.[2]
