Sharon Hayes is an American multimedia artist.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] She came to prominence as an artist and an activist during the East Village scene in the early '90s. She primarily works with video, installation, and performance as her medium.[12] Using multimedia, she "appropriates, rearranges, and remixes in order to revitalize spirits of dissent."[13] An exhibition of Hayes's work entitled There's So Much I Want to Say to You was shown at the Whitney Museum in the summer of 2012.[13]

Education and awards

Hayes studied anthropology at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine, and performance art at the Trinity/LaMama Performing Arts Program in New York in the early 1990s. She participated in the Independent Study Program at the Whitney Museum of American Art from 1999 to 2000, and received an MFA in interdisciplinary studies from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2003.

Hayes was the 2013 visual arts recipient of the Alpert Awards in the Arts,[14] given annually to five “risk-taking, mid-career” artists by the Herb Alpert foundation and the California Institute of the Arts.[15] The same year, the jury of the 55th Venice Biennale awarded Hayes a special mention for her video 'Ricerche: three,' 2013.[16] Inspired by Italian filmmaker and writer Pier Paolo Pasolini’s 1963 documentary Love Meetings, Hayes interviewed 35 students at an all-women’s college in western Massachusetts about sexuality, speaking to “a larger way in which we form ourselves as people in relation to collectives.”[17]
