Guerrillas In Our Midst 1992

Guerrillas In Our Midst takes a look behind the scenes of New York's blue chip art market, and reveals how a contemporary art movement is "created." The anonymous art activists, the Guerrilla Girls, provide a witty foil to SoHo's business-as-usual, protesting the underrepresentation of women and non-white artists with satirical posters and their trademark gorilla masks.

Chess 2013

"In Simpson's project--in which one plays chess with oneself--how does one extract oneself from oneself to outwit oneself? Who wins? Technically it would end in a draw and or extend into a Borgesian infinity. How does one become one's own doppelgänger?" -Joan Simon


Movie Picture

Corridor 2003

"Through a narrative in which action remains relatively static and intrigue is expressed abstractly through the composer John Davis' classical music and jazz sound track, the women's mundane tasks mirror each other, creating a structural parity between the two channels of the installation. Each channel not only reflects the other but also correlates to it: one woman's exit signals the other's entrance, thus making each image dependent upon the other. While the women's homes, dress, and technological access reveal a century's worth of creature-comfort advances, the two scenes emphasize the continuities of their moments over what might be the expected narrative of racial progress in the hundred years following the end of slavery." -Thomas J. Lax
