Executive Order Karaoke was first presented as public action performed at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. Participants were invited to sing their favorite mixes of US President George W. Bush’s Executive Orders inserted into hacked karaoke files. Prizes were awarded for best performances. Finishing School is excited to announce a brand new version, Executive Order Karaoke – The Obama Years to be presented this summer (Aug ’16) at the  Evanston Art Center.

Los Angeles-based, Finishing School is a socially engaged artist collective that playfully explores an expansive range of subject and media territories at the many intersections of art, play, power, politics, praxis, participation, and the everyday. The collective has five members who represent a broad range of skills and research interests. Finishing School produces interdisciplinary actions, installations, workshops, design, publications, film, studio art, performance and new media.
