history, style, trauma, femininity and the demands of being the First Lady. Using the structure
of a lecture set in the present day, Jackie, one of the most photographed woman of her day,
contemplates her life in pictures. Jackie also makes use of YouTube and views online homages to
herself and her family. Along the way, Jackie ruminates about Michelle Obama, Marilyn Monroe,
Caroline’s run for Senate, the art world, Michael Jackson and the lasting impact of that fateful
day on the grassy knoll in Dallas. Since her first performances in the early 1980's, Karen Finely
has become synonymous with performance art. She is the recipient of two Obies, two Bessies,
and multiple grants from the NEA and NYSCA. She has toured internationally with pieces including
Make Love, George & Martha, The American Chestnut, A Certain Level of Denial and The Return
of The Chocolate Smeared Woman. In 1990, Finley became an unwilling symbol for the NEA
when she, along with Tim Miller, Holly Hughes & John Fleck, sued the
NEA for withdrawing grants on the grounds of indecency.
