Hello everyone - Matt here with your weekly invite. Tonight (7PM ET / 4PM PT) we explore the work of Mika Rottenberg.
Join our community this evening for a sensory delve into the world of artist Mika Rottenberg. This interactive and exploratory tour led by mark aims to immerse participants into the highly textured, sensually active, and brightly colored world of plastic, capitalism, politics, and desire. Navigating a diverse portfolio of work and mediums, we aim to explore the consequences of our continual thirst for the 'new,' the 'cheap,' and the 'luxurious. We ask: How is luxury established? Who ultimately pays the price for our access to global 'free' markets and systems? When/where/can this ever end? Registration is FREE and open to ALL. Please feel free to share within your networks. Eventbrite > https://www.eventbrite.com/e/145369053753 MeetUp > https://www.meetup.com/Considering-Art/events/276842100/ *** Argentina-born, New York-based artist Mika Rottenberg is devoted to a rigorous practice that combines film, architectural installation, and sculpture to explore ideas of labor and the production of value in our contemporary hyper-capitalist world. Using traditions of both cinema and sculpture, she seeks out locations around the world where specific systems of production and commerce are in place, such as a pearl factory in China, and a Calexico border town. Through the editing process, and with footage from sets built in her studio, Rottenberg connects seemingly disparate places and things to create elaborate and subversive visual narratives. By weaving fact and fiction together, she highlights the inherent beauty and absurdity of our contemporary existence. *** About your facilitator: mark (he/him/they/them) develops and produces access platforms, programming and communities with a view toward activating art as a tool for positive political, economic and social change.
