HIGHSNOBETTE

Following the announcement in February to cease production of Polaroid instant film, conceptual photographer Lynnette Astaire's New Orleans inspired performance comes highly anticipated at this years Deitch Art Parade. In it's 4th year, the annually curated event, sponsored by Deitch Projects, Paper Magazine and Creative Time, marks the beginning of the fall art season in New York City.

 The event is held on West Broadway in the Soho neighborhood of New York City. Past and current performers include Yoko Ono, Kenny Scharf, Scissor Sisters, and Steve 'ESPO' Powers. Lynnette's piece, entitled "The Polaroid Funeral"  is a live adaptation of a self portrait session produced earlier this year. Classically trained in dance and music, this marks her debut in the art world as a performance artist.

Go Lynnette!!!
