Press for Kathryn Cornelius: “Save The Date”
DCist: Save the Date: Artist Gets Married and Divorced Seven Times In One Day
“Going to the art gallery and we’re gonna get married … and then get divorced.”
Huffington Post: Kathryn Cornelius’s ‘Save The Date’ At The Corcoran Gallery: Seven Weddings For One Bride (PHOTOS)
“Largely, I have an interest in exploring marriage as an institution,” Cornelius says. “There’s a lot of rhetoric that you have to get married to be okay by society’s standards and to validate that you’re okay through that public recognition.”

“During the wedding ceremony, officiated by ordained minister B Stanley (of DCAC), individuals from the audience were asked to serve as members of the wedding party and witnesses to the marriage. After the obligatory kiss, the wedding party had their photograph taken to memorialize the event.”

“Save the Date highlighted what what we all expect in a wedding, as it mocked the conventions of the form. Seven weddings, all the same except for the groom, demonstrated how rote the ceremony has become. “
City Paper: Take It to the Bridge, Week 4: Kathryn Cornelius
“It will be the sound of wedding bells Saturday at the Corcoran during this weekend’s installment of “Take It to the Bridge,” the series co-presented by the Washington Project for the Arts: Performance artist Kathryn Cornelius plans to marry (and divorce) seven suitors. It’s a timely piece given all the recent hubbub regarding the sanctity of marriage and whether conservative Christians will ever accept homosexual matrimony (chicken with a pickle on a bun, anyone?). Cornelius’ performance will kick that sanctity crap in the knees. Let’s put aside that she’s getting married to, and divorced from, men and women (not at the same time—let’s be sensible!); her marriages will last about as long as Britney’s first, and before the day is over she’ll have been married as many times as Larry King.”
