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] Hayes's work addresses themes such as romantic love, activism, queer theory, and politics.[14] Hayes works to develop "new representational strategies that examine and interrogate the present political movement, not as a moment without historical foundation but as one that reaches simultaneously backwards and fowards."[15] She incorporates texts from found speeches, recordings, songs, letters, and her own writing into her practice that she describes as “a series of performatives rather than performance.”[16]
