About me:

Coral Short is a prolific international performance, sound, and video artist. She has been a practicing artist for over ten years while living in Europe, Asia, and North America. Her camp creations often take the form of fantastical transformations. She loves getting public with her art - interacting with the unsuspecting and curious masses. She enjoys performing in cabarets; her work bridging the gap between nightlife and fine art. She also adores collaborating with other artists and working collectively with large groups of amateurs from within her community. Her art creates playful direct action for stiff queer theory. Currently she calls Montreal Quebec Canada home. ********************************************************************************* FEBRUARY 12: Stationary - first time Coral performs this piece in Montreal! www.electriques.ca at Sala Rosa ********************************************************************************* FEBRUARY 2nd: Short Queer Film Curation at CLUB WOTEVER London UK ********************************************************************************* JANUARY: Short Queer Films curated by Coral Short at the BUTT CLUB Hamburg, Glasgow Bildweschel, and Berlin! *********************************************************************************** NOVEMBER: Premier of my new video Queens Part 1 and Part 2, Bildweschel, Hamburg, Germany *********************************************************************************** NOVEMBER 20th New!
