Participation in the 2014 Whitney Biennial
A.L. Steiner describes her installation-based work in this year’s Whitney Biennial—More Real than Reality Itself (2014) —beginning as “a conduit to viewing other subjective histories” which has become “a platform for questioning intentionality and the relationship [Steiner has] to documentary or archival forms—a fragile and precarious place for both the object and subject.”

Community Action Center
In 2007 A.L. Steiner and A.K. Burns began working on Community Action Center —a 69 minute socio-sexual video utilizes erotics to express the personal sexual and political lives in the group. Filmed around New York State and Los Angeles the work was completed in 2010.

In 2013 Burns and Steiner took the video on a 14 city screening tour—Community Action Center or BUST!: The X-Cuntry Summer Tour—the spanned ten states. The year’s experiences culminated in an evening performance at The Kitchen, NY, in October of 2013 with a live score by Justin Vivian Bond, Nick Hallett with Sam Miller, K8 Hardy, and other artists from the Community Action Center soundtrack.
