TO GO TO WORK AGAIN; Chloe Smolarski-Heims; 7.15; digi
An associative piece, exploring labor exploitation in the United States. A medley of audio and visual threads collocating gluttony and hardship. Lisa Lozano’s performance takes place at a society party where guests feast from a vat of honey enveloping the nude performer. The party, a symbol of excess is sharply interrupted by Nancy Mata’s verbal account of her family’s migration from Mexico to California. Mundane, labor motifs – a doorman who opens doors, the repeated scrubbing of a floor being sullied – punctuate the film, rhythmically.

VENUS, a video encounter with the Anatomical Venus, an 18th century wax figure in Vienna Melissa has been fascinated with for years, will premiere in the group exhibition OBJECTS OF DEVOTION AND DESIRE, opening Thursday January 27, 5:30-7:30, the Bertha & Karl Leubsdorf Art Gallery, 68th street and Lexington Ave. The show is curated by Hunter Professor Cynthia Hahn and Hnter and Graduate Center MFA and Phd students.
