Terri and Donna is a single artistic entity and as such exists as a performative strategy aimed at ethically addressing those historical events and technologies of representation that fundamentally de-centered the subject.
Terri and Donna are fictional artistic identities and as such are discursively oriented in relation to the critique of the subject.
Terri and Donna is an art gallery and as such exists as a hyperbolic articulation of the “frame.”
Terri and Donna is an image and as such has been and will continue to be assimilated as linguistic sign into the system of symbolic domination.
Terri and Donna make paintings and as such eschew ironic anxiety and the temptation of authentic suicide in favor of performative frivolity and psychoanalytic sincerity.
