In her new exhibition, the artist Mika Tajima get together two big interests for her: the colors and the fascination with the things and cultural mechanisms that affect the body and its relationship to daily experience. She presents three new series -display, work, and fitness- in the Art in General gallery.
Total Body Conditioning deals with technologies developed to control and affect the body. The works in the exhibition include hot tub painting objects, a series of abstract woven textile portraits, and transparent paintings set to changing ambient lighting and sound sequences. Each scene in the exhibition traces the management of the body in different spaces and temporal contexts from factory assembly lines to therapeutic “after work” locations.
The exhibition will be open until October 25th.
Art in General – 79 Walker Street – New York
