That is, it is designed by the artist (and/or collaborating critic, collector, gallerist) as a concept even if exhibiting a range of objects.
As an introduction to this method, DEB's materialist painting demonstrates the post-conceptual object as remainder of lived performance of the current era. DEB's pseudonymous and anonymous exhibitions engage the question of gender and identity politics in a unique manner, including the political economy of the artist in motherhood, family, and procreation.
DEB received her formal training as BFA from Cal State and MFA from Parsons, and has exhibited her paintings in New York and California under various names. She is a mother.
Libertine draws some of its artists from Analytica (http://www.analytica.org/).
