Anya Liftig, I’m a Groucho Marxist

I’m a Groucho Marxist was one of Anya Liftig’s most physically challenging performances to date, and drew from the history of literal and socially imposed barriers in Atlanta’s past. During this three-hour durational performance, Liftig challenged herself to cross a barricade while blindfolded and partially bound and licking peanut butter as she went. As with most of Liftig’s work, the built-in physical hardship was integral to the project, and this work in particular addressed the difficulty in crossing boundaries.
