Public Performance: Pushing Up Daisies
Location: Oakville Galleries at Centennial Square, 120 Navy Street, Oakville
Time: 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m. (Performance is 40 minutes)
Join Oakville Galleries at the Centennial Square gallery on March 28 for Pushing Up Daisies, a performance piece by Lili Huston-Herterich as part of the public programming for their winter 2026 exhibition, Les Fleurs du Mal.
Pushing Up Daisies is a performance in four acts with a two-sided marionette who serves as a messenger from a threshold between life and death, where they sit in perpetuity. The work departs from the consideration of the fear of death as a symptom of Western society, where medicalization, social stigma, secularization, censorship of genocide, and self-optimization abstract one of the few experiences all living bodies share, with the privilege of time or distance, or through violent interruption.
