ART::LILLY MCELROY "I THROW MYSELF AT MEN"
Lilly McElroy is a performance artist currently working on an ongoing series called I throw myself at men,in which she lunges at strangers in bars in hopes of them catching her. The acts are documented as men brace themselves for the flying artist’s impact as McElroy leaps forward and falls into the arms of innocent bystanders.
“The work she produces is a cross between physical comedy and earnest confessional. She throws her whole body into it and often leads with her chest.” The subject is “examining how easily we make connections and how much can be at stake if we don’t”. Now that’s a way to pick someone up!
