Description
Karen Finley is known for incendiary and emotionally complex works that spanthe mediums of performance, music, photography, video, and installation. Her raw,
transgressive pieces have provoked controversy and debate on themes of social
injustice, sexual politics, and family dysfunction. In 1998, she was the plaintiff in a
contentious Supreme Court case Finley v. NEA that focused on public funding and
the arts—a situation that brought her work to wide audiences and unexpected
contexts. Finley received both an MFA and an honorary PhD from SFAI.
