Author: Valerie Oliveiro Valerie Oliveiro

Valerie Oliveiro is an artist born in Singapore and based in Minneapolis, MN. She is a performance maker, performance, lighting designer, photographer and manager.
She has performed for Jennifer Monson, Morgan Thorson, Rosy Simas, Pramila Vasudevan and Emily Gastineau in the Twin Cities as well as at national venues such as Danspace, New York Live Arts, Portland Art Museum, BASE Seattle, ADI and Maui Arts and Cultural Center. She maintains a long-term creative practice with Jennifer Monson.
Her lighting design work includes her own site-based visual installations as well as performance collaborations with Deke Weaver, Alanna Morris Van-Tassel, Pramila Vasudevan, Rosy Simas and Eric Larson – much of this work has occurred at non-traditional performance sites.
Her performance work “The Standard” premiered in June 2019 as part of Red Eye Theater’s New Works 4 Weeks Festival. The work researched agreements, togetherness and distance while also situating dance, writing photography, design and drawing as companion expressions while interrogating the work’s interests.

Queer Filth: A Roundtable

Aegor Ray, Valerie Oliveiro, Nailah Taman, Aggy K
The image shows a layered series of photographs taken from a similar perspective. It is the same view of photographs of the Shoshone/Idaho Mountains, taken over a period of multiple days with the available light being different every time. The general blue-ish hue is from a couple of digital photographs that were taken in the early morning. The photos are also layered onto a photoshop background that is orange-red, a hue taken from one of the other in processed digital photographs. A sliver of that color is seen on the left side of the photograph. It is an exposure of the background layer of a complex image. The images are not aligned perfectly, causing the overall lines in the image to appear blurred or unsure. The layering refers to the “rolodex” of light states in the writer’s memory of the place (mentioned in the writing). The title points to landscape photography’s role in Manifest Destiny (such as the photographs of Carlton Watkins).
