Sascha Braunig, Judy Chicago, and Benny Merris “Trioceros”
Regina Rex
This event has ended.
Regina Rex presents Trioceros, a group exhibition of photos and video by Sascha Braunig, Judy Chicago, and Benny Merris. Using the body as surface and support, these artists alter skin coloring and texture, presenting images of faces, hands and full bodies that speak directly to the mutability of the natural world. Judy Chicago and Benny Merris situate the body as an empathetic alien in romantic desert and mountainous landscapes, while Braunig presents a video that morphs from classical portrait to cyborg. Striated patterned hands cup frozen lakes, fuchsia bodies walk amidst hallucinogenic smoke bombs, spirals and patterns overtake humanoid forms. Liberated from traditional forms, this work conjures the magic of shamanistic rituals, hallucinatory catharsis, and chameleonic body shifting.
