Description

Applebroog's work has long been concerned with "performance", not only as represented by actors on stage, but also with each performance resulting In an object - an artifact - something that exists in space as well as time -images of frozen theatre. Her work deals primarily with everyday, private moments and awkward attempts at communication; feelings of isolation and alienation, frequently tinged with humor. Applebroog is first and foremost a social commentator presenting the vulnerability of human relationships. "CURRENT EVENTS" emphasizes the fact that the codes and communications of our culture have undergone a recent transformation - the conservative renaissance, the move back to traditionalism. Her social dramas come increasingly under the pressure of political change and are punctuated with "Abortion is murder", "South Africa appears to be stable", "Why else did God give us the bomb?,, they become part of her stories, of her performances.
