In New Report, Wynne Greenwood and K8 Hardy are reporters at WKRH - the feminist news station that is "pregnant with information." As Henry Irigaray (Hardy) and Henry Stein-Acker-Hill (Greenwood), these two lesbian feminist artists stage reports on and with their friends, their social herstories, their nerves, and their bodies. It is urgently broadcast live to the newsroom and out to their studio audience. An ongoing collaboration, New Report investigates how news is made and received, while restating the spaces, crises, and histories that deserve to be publicly considered. "'Pregnant w/information' is WKRH's promotional logo, and the advertising is not false." --Holland Cotter, New York Times

About Wynne Greenwood
Wynne Greenwood (b.1977) is a queer feminist artist working with video, performance, music, sculpture and installation. After studying video production and art history at Rutgers University, NJ, in the late '90s, Greenwood moved back to her home state of Washington and began performing the art-band tracy + the plastics in 1999.

She toured the project extensively and in 2004 tracy + the plastics was invited to perform as part of the Whitney Biennial. In 2005, Greenwood was commissioned by The Kitchen to make an evening length work, ROOM, in collaboration with sculptor Fawn Krieger. Greenwood has also collaborated with K8 Hardy on the series New Report. In 2009, Greenwood was visiting faculty at Seattle University, teaching "Video, Performance and Identity."
