Skewed Visions

Skewed Visions is an arts company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota which produces site-specific performances and other multimedia works. Formed in 1996 by the artists Charles Campbell, Gülgün Kayim and Sean Kelley-Pegg, the group produces site-specific works that have sometimes been seen as controversial. The group may be best known for The Car, a 2000 performance that took place in cars driven by actors with the audience as passengers. Additionally, Skewed Visions has created original performances for a variety of sites including theaters, office buildings, a rooftop observatory, a former marble factory, a house, a storefront window, a former bombsite factory, a pedestrian shopping mall, and a farmer's market.

The company received project grants from the Jerome Foundation, most recently in 2005 and has also received grants from the Minnesota Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, The Minnesota State Arts Board, and the McKnight Foundation. In October 2006 Skewed Visions appeared alongside Meredith Monk and Stephan Koplowitz as keynote speakers for the first Site-Specific Performance Symposium at the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center of the Graduate Center of CUNY. The company's production of Jasper Johns was made with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts's American Masterpieces initiative.

The company's work has also been the subject of articles in academic journals, frequently focusing on "expanding notions of theater and performance." These include New Theatre Quarterly, TDR, and Frakcija.
