Mary Reid Kelly will present the solo exhibition of The Syphilis of Sisyphus from July 2013 at the AMOA-Arthouse in Austin, Texas. Co-directed with Patrick Kelley and set in 1852 before the modernization of Paris, The Syphilis of Sisyphus is an eleven-minute video that depicts the poetic monologue of a young, pregnant prostitute named Sisyphus—played by the artist—as she ponders aloud the fate of women.
