Jill Pangallo's UNFOLLOW (directed by Mike Albo)

Kiddles & Bits, I'm back and (potentially) better than ever with my new solo show, UNFOLLOW at Wild Project October 1st AND 2nd. The insanely talented Mike Albo is directing me this go round and I couldn't be more excited about the collaboration. Please note the show runs TWO NIGHTS… October 1st AND 2nd.

It's a great, little, community-focused space run and inhabited by inspirin g folks. Jill Pangallo’s latest multimedia, persona-based performance, 'Unfollow,' picks up where 'Happy Go Sad' (Wild Project, March 2012) left off and features the directorial expertise of writer/performer Mike Albo. Pangallo’s detailed, nuanced portraits oscillate between emotional and emotive polarities—funny and serious, happy and sad, tribute and observation. Universally familiar models and tropes—internet profiles, broadcast advertising, industrial videos and mainstream dance, amongst others—are referenced and subverted as Pangallo continues to explore the crossover between art and entertainment, as well the way humor functions within this interchange. “Pangallo’s work is smart, funny, highly original and kinda creepy.” — Glasstire “Jill Pangallo unleashes her inner angels and demons in a raucous spectacle of clashing alter-egos, therapeutic psychodrama and cathartic release.” —Michael Duncan, Art in America “What makes us who we are? is a formidable question, and humor like Pangallo’s seems to get us closer to an honest response.” — Caitlin Haskell, Art Papers Jill Pangallo (Writer/Performer) is a New York City-based artist.
