Emma Sulkowicz, a performance artist that carried around a twin-size mattress during her senior year at Columbia to protest what she described as the university's lenient treatment toward the fellow student she claimed raped her has opened a new performance to illustrate the imbalance of societal power (my summary) by letting herself be tied to a beam in a bikini, berated and beaten. Pictures enough for people to get a flavor of the performance.

I think, from the article, the performance is titled "The Ship is Sinking, 2017" but I may be misreading it.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I had a fuzzy recollection of the mattress "performance".

I love her explanation of what Jackson Pollock's paintings tell us.
