SPACE presents "Will you still love me when I'm no longer Young and
Beautiful", a solo exhibition by Rondi Park, on view through August 11.
In this
exhibition, Park finds the capitalist temporality that drives our anxiety at
the root of physical symptoms such as insomnia and hair loss. The exhibition
imagines slowing down and diverting the passage of time, which is operated by
the pressures of life, by bodily sensing its passage.
The aesthetic of cuteness
that permeates Park’s work becomes a vehicle to escape the clutches of the
productive life, even if it’s tender and wacky.
The
exhibition will be accompanied by an exhibition-associated performance that
combines readings, yoga, and a pajama party. "Thoughts before bed: A
Meditation on Falling Hair," is for anyone who suffers from burnout and
chronic fatigue as a result of living by the motto of hard work.
The
artist offers the experience of lying down in an unlit exhibition space and
having someone recite your thoughts for you. The performance schedule is every
Tuesday and Friday (7/9, 7/12, 7/16, 7/19) at 8pm. To apply for the program,
