On May 15th, 2016, I opened my performance-installation (In)/Animate Objects at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery in Los Angeles.
EXHIBITION
For this exhibition I premiered (In)/Animate Objects, a new installation, which included over a thousand handmade distressed dolls created with over 60 people. The installation was part of the C.O.L.A. Individual Artist Fellowships Exhibition. From time to time, I came to the gallery to activate installation.

I spoke with Allison de Fren at Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery on the handmade bodies that populate my work in the COLA Fellowship Exhibition and my obsessions the (in)/animate.
de Fren is a media practitioner and scholar at Occidental College who investigates the relationship between the body and technology, especially about artificial bodies: dolls, puppets, automata, cyborgs, and robots.
(In)/Animate Objects was made possible with funding from the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs and through fabrication and assistance from numerous individuals.
