A seminal voice in American political art, Sharon Hayes reinterprets the Ancient Greek Echo myth
New York-based multimedia artist Sharon Hayes (born 1970) explores how speech echoed or repeated can have the force of an action, a force that rivals the original speech act, and offers a feminist reading of Echo, who was punished for her powers of conversation with the inability to speak anything but other's words. This overview includes older and new work.
