Peter Schjeldahl of The New Yorker wrote: "The most prepossessing is an energetic performance by...Vitale, who...harangues 'patrons' with colorfully worded...insults and commands.
"[2] Vitale's ongoing sculptural series of Burned Bridges has been part of several solo gallery and museum exhibitions including What I Need to Do Is Lighten The Fuck Up About A Lot of Shit at Zach Feuer; Bright Dark Future at Le Confort Moderne; If You Expect To Rate as a Gentleman, Do Not Expectorate On the Floor at Unge Kunstneres Samfund; Lost Marbles at Le Marbrerie, Montreuil; and Huey, Dewey & Louie at Kunstraum Innsbruck.
Her solo show, Diamond Crossing at Zach Feuer (2013), was applauded by the New York Times' Ken Johnson as “approaching a near-perfect 10…occupy[ing] the space with awesome implacability…[and] art-historical sophistication.”[3] For the Performa '13 Biennial, Vitale was commissioned to produce The Missing Book of Spurs, a performance set in a "saloon/[brothel]/weather station.
[1] From April 2014 through March 2015, Vitale's outdoor sculptural exhibition Common Crossings was presented on the High Line in New York City, curated by Cecilia Alemani.
On this occasion, a book entitled The World, the Flesh and the Devil was published by American Art Catalogues.
