After writing my last post, I realized some folks might not know Coco Fusco's other work. Perhaps her most famous piece is Couple in a Cage, a performance piece with video documentation that she did with Guillermo Gomez-Pena in 1993. Together, the two artists exhibited themselves as caged Amerindians outside of a variety of natural science museums, art museums, etc...It's a great piece about colonialism and objectification. You should check out her website and her other work as well!
