イマン・アブドゥルマジドのインスタグラム(the_real_iman) - 7月28日 00時51分

I visited with my daughter Lexi this great exhibition in LA at the Marciano Art Foundation…. If you will be visiting or living in LA this is a must see.
Donna Huanca’s OBSIDIAN LADDER triggers the senses through painting, sculpture, sound, scent, and performance. This new topography, which is strikingly different from the rest of the building, transports visitors to another world—a femme realm of reconciliation, creation and trust. This gesture fractures the museum’s site as a former Scottish Rite Masonic Temple that was built by and for men.
Every Saturday, painted femme models inhabit Huanca’s environment. The models have complete agency over their bodies, environment, and time. Their movements through the space are self-determined, not bound to any direction from Huanca. She says, “These individuals are essential to the empowering process of reclaiming this space. My work has always been a poetic gesture commenting on societal imbalances and injustices. As I have had more opportunities to exhibit publicly, in different contexts globally, my work has evolved to directly confront patriarchal realities, power dynamics, and hierarchies of contemporary life.”
Huanca’s use of natural materials, such as raw pigments, oils, turmeric, sand, and clay, is essential to her developing an other-worldly environment. In her skin paintings—a term that refers to both the painted live models and the hanging canvases—she layers these materials with fragments of paint, latex, and other skin-like substances. This material link between the works, including the painted humans that navigate her sculptural landscapes, creates a tactile ecosystem.
In its willingness to engage femininity intuitively, the work stands as a challenge to the exhibitionism and objectification that pervade contemporary American life. OBSIDIAN LADDER invites us to connect to a powerful feminine essence that is inherent to nature and creation.

k_apostrophe This exhibit is exquisite. I saw it a few weeks ago and was enraptured by the scale of her and Huanca’s play on the sense of smell as well as sight.
