Activities
Miller formerly wrote the I Did It for Science column for nerve.com and currently writes a column entitled Diary of an Art Star for Artnet. She is also associated with several movements and projects that were launched as a response to various popular concepts. Some examples include the Anti-Slam open mike movement and the Mr. Lower East Side Pageant, with was founded to "counteract the objectification of the female body in art".[4] Miller has written multiple books such as Reverend Jen's Really Cool Neighborhood and has written for other projects such as The Adventures of Electra Elf and Fluffer, a low budget Public-access television show produced by Nick Zedd.[5]
Miller is also associated with the phrase "Art Star", which denotes a movement (which Miller was instrumental in forming) of performers, artists, poets, and other individuals centered around the Lower East Side.[6] She has also acted as the founder for several projects such as the magazine Art Star Scene and with her former boyfriend Courtney Fathom Sell, co-founded ASS Studios.[7] Miller is also the curator of the Troll Museum, which collects history, toys, and memorabilia associated with the Troll doll.[8]
Anti-Slam
Miller began the Anti-Slam movement at Collective: Unconscious in 1995 as a reaction to the Poetry Slam movement on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.[9] At a traditional poetry slam performers are given a score of 1–10 by a panel of five judges, whereas at an Anti-Slam event performers are given a perfect score regardless of the content or quality of their performance.
On October 17, 2007 Miller announced that this performance would be the final anti-slam.[10] The following year Miller revived the movement as a monthly event held on the last Wednesday of each month.
