Johanna Householder is a performance artist and professor based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from York University in 1977. She is represented by Vtape, a Toronto-based artist-run distributor of video art.
Householder has been creating performance art since the late 1970s. She was a member of the satirical feminist performance art group known as The Clichettes, along with Louise Garfield and Janice Hladki. Their debut performance was in 1978 at the Tele-Performance Festival. Jayne Wark, in Radical Gestures: Feminism and Performance Art in North America, describes their performance: "Dressed in kitsch-punk outfits, The Clichettes (with Elizabeth Chitty) lip-synced to Leslie Gore's 'You Don't Own Me' while posturing aggressively and pounding their fists on the floor in a full-frontal feminist assault." [1] In 1985, The Clichettes performed a lip-sync of "Go To Hell," spoofing the Motorhead song while sporting muscle suits and guitars. A year later, dressed in classic "lounge lizard" attire, they lip-synced "Having My Baby," the popular Paul Anka song. Householder is quoted as saying that "Lip-sync ... happens to be, in itself, a good metaphor for the cultural imperialism experienced by women." [2]
Householder is a professor at the
Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where she was chair of the New Media/Integrated Media program from 1990 to 1996. Currently, she is Chair of the Criticism and Curatorial Practice Program.Cite error: There are <ref>
