A refusal to adhere to distinct categories, a breakdown of hierarchies, and an embrace of hybridity are a few common threads among this month’s exhibitions.
| | | A resistance to authority, a breakdown of hierarchies, and an embrace of hybridity are a few common threads among this month’s exhibitions. At Karma, Mungo Thomson plumbs the depths of mundane visual culture to create entrancing stop-motion videos. In Francisco Masó's solo show at Luis de Jesus gallery, the Cuban-born artist subverts the slickness of abstraction to critique state-sanctioned surveillance. And Sarah Rosalena’s solo show at Blum — the gallery's final Los Angeles exhibition before it shutters — fuses traditional Indigenous techniques with high-tech fabrication, dissolving the artificial barrier between craft and fine art. | |
