Exhibition at Libertine, Los Angeles May 20 - June 11, 2023 with performances May 20 and May 25
Text by Scott Von:
“I’m sick of putting myself in these positions.” An artist constructs and reveals the object of desire in public. But how does a performance artist accomplish this without being caught as the object of animal prey or human drama?
What begins with found objects ready to hand ends in an excavation of personal and cultural history - ancestors and ghosts of the past. A father’s game of Go leads to Duchamp’s performative non-art of Chess. An inversion of Marcel’s gender in art leads to an old photo of a lost lover, and a mystery of desire itself. How can love disappear - and what is left in its wake. A cultural monument, an art object, an implanted memory?”
