Bio
An avant-garde performance artist with a huge popular reputation, Laurie
Anderson has written and performed Stories from the Nerve Bible,
her remarkable interpretation of Moby-Dick, and
United States (opening at BAM in an 8-hour performance). She has toured
the world many times with shows ranging from relatively simple spoken-word
performances to elaborate multimedia events and exhibits. She has shared a
stage with Cab Calloway, toured with William Burroughs, studied art
history with Meyer Schapiro, and covered a presidential election for NPR.
