Nicole Blackman (November 30, 1971) is a New York City–born performance artist, poet, author, and vocalist.
Blackman is involved in the North American goth, spoken word and transgressive literature scenes.
Blackman self-published three now out-of-print chapbooks: Pretty, Sweet, and Nice, and were collected in Akashic Books' Blood Sugar.
Her work as a performance artist include "Bloodwork" performed at The Kitchen/NYC in 2000, where she debuted her blood performance (and shook hands with the audience, bloodying them too), slipped secret messages into the audience's coat pockets, projected text on the street and created audio visual installations. Since then she has performed "Courtesan Tales" at PS122 art space in New York City, at The Andy Warhol Museum/Pittsburgh, and for three years at the Fierce Festival in Birmingham England. The "Courtesan Tales" are performances in which a blindfolded audience of one has a five-minute story whispered into their ear. She debuted "Harm's Way" (a multi-media performance of her email diary of working at Ground Zero) as a work in progress in New York.
