Note:
There will be an opening reception for this exhibit on Fri Jan 18 (8-11pm).
In the new exhibition Conduits of Labor, QNA examines the aestheticization of the laboring body. Ana Teresa Fernandez presents her Sisyphean hausfrau in the digital realm; her tireless day laborer now executes hellish chores in a virtual landscape. Rebecca Goldfarb's vintage soap collection subtly references the growing obsession with cleaning, partly by demonstrating that our ancestors bathed less. The show also reveals previously unseen work from one of today's seminal feminist artists, Suzanne Lacy. Her Monster Series may hail from the '70s, but her images of women wrestling with entrails and carcasses present a fine counterpoint to Matthew Barney's testosterone-fueled performances.
