Elizabeth Hall is a Miami-based artist. Her work in performance, installation and single-track video has been screened, exhibited and streamed at a range of venues from galleries, museums, film/art festivals to site-specific and public video projections and guerilla performances including Exit Art First World, The Wexner Center for the Arts, Artspace New Haven, Real Art Ways, Artistpace, The Attleboro Museum of Art, The Harvard Film Archive, Boston Center for the Arts and The DeCordova Museum.

Trained as a painter and photographer, Hall’s work explores the body, gender, and sexuality through performance, video and installation that incorporated looping single-track video, video-projection and handmade costumes.

For over ten years she has utilized her own body, or stand-in, as a performative element within the work, “putting herself in the picture” as actress/subject/object.

Video and film became a solution for her interest in combining sound/image/light and the notion of time into a single work as well as the opportunity to explore alternative exhibition venues such as the Internet, public space and alternative exhibition spaces which undermine “The Salon” and traditional notions of the black-box/white cube of presentation.

In January of 2002 she co-founded "The Experimental Show" with Charles Recher and Michael Betancourt which debuted with a single-track video screening at The Wolfsonian-FIU. For more information, see the exhibit website at http://www.experimentalshow.org.

In addition she curated and produced "Flarb2", a multimedia experimental art extravaganza at The Aqua Hotel in Miami Beach which featured more than 21 artists.

Currently Ms. Hall teaches part time at Miami Dade Community College and is working on a new body of work which she calls “Floating Bobbing Chimeras”, a series of life size video projections representing human/animal hybrids, composites, and morphs.

She received her undergraduate education at The Boston Museum School of Fine Arts and Boston College, and an MFA from The University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Her web site is http://Typhares.com/.
