Opening Event June 5, 2024 | 5-7PM
Osias Yanov will participate in this exhibition, the second of a year-long series that celebrates strategies for resistance in the wake of rising violence against bodily autonomy toward feminized bodies. Yanov’s sculpture, Cuarto oscuro, tetera, cuarto oscuro, mi lugar, baño, síntoma del mundo (Dark room, kettle, dark room, my place, bathroom, symptom of the world), 2023, provides a view into an intimate encounter taking place in a nightclub bathroom. This moment shows how, when the right to assemble is denied, the stall becomes its own form of assembly space, drawing the viewer into this arena of concealed intimacy as witness, evoking the role nightlife plays as a site for social activism. + info
