Solo Show at NADA with Elijah Wheat Showroom

November 30, 2020

Dear Friends,

I am grateful to share I have a solo show opening on December 5th in upstate New York at Elijah Wheat Showroom. The show is also part of the NADA 2020 art fair.

Viewings will be socially distanced, masked, and can be arranged by appointment seven days a week by emailing whatsup@elijahwheatshowroom.com. The opening is open to the public in staggered small groups on December 5th from 1-8PM.

I am showing an installation titled A Search for Ghosts in the Meat Machine, originally commissioned as part of the Biological Art and Design Awards. This set of nine sculptures examines personhood from anatomical, psychological, genetic, biochemical, and algorithmic perspectives. In many ways, this installation is an emotional confrontation with being quantifiable.

This new iteration has updates reflecting my experience of 2020. With various electronics submerged in fluid, I find that my current lived reality, with its suffocating screens and the longing for physical presence, is in apt conversation with the original piece.

I am also showing an installation of a video game I have been developing titled Shapes and Ladders: Battles of Bias and Bureaucracy. It is a video game that explores and reveals how systemic racism and sexism can exist in the workplace. Set in the metaphor of a career ladder, players attempt to navigate through an office building rife with challenges.

You can learn more about these works on my website, or with the gallery.

Sending you warm wishes and energy,

Ani
