“Throughout my work I’ve been curious about astronomy and the parallels between astral bodies and people in solitude, attraction, growth, and force. What I do is very much tied to sexuality as well, not only in the sexual sense but also in the sense of the awareness of our bodies, their fragility as vessels of memory and our inherent fantasy of death.”
@junocalypso is now on view at @tjboultings’s “In The Company Of” curated by @thegreatwomenartists.

How cool is this? Currently on view at the @brooklynmuseum is Do Ho Suh’s “One: Do Ho Suh.” It features a single, large-scale work that engages with migration and cultural displacement. “The Perfect Home II” is a full-scale re-creation of the artist’s former apartment in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York City and his home for 19 years. Visitors are invited to walk through the hand-sewn, translucent fabric replica, which includes details such as light fixtures, radiators, and even an intercom
