Jennie Thwing "Catch My Legs"
Soho20 Chelsea Gallery
This event has ended.
SOHO20 Chelsea Gallery is pleased to present a new video installation by Jennie Thwing.
Thwing’s work explores identity in crisis. The video, animation and photographs in “Catch My Legs” include experimental footage of the artist and others presenting themselves as a collective of women workers who harvest legs for a living. Their attempts achieve various emotional and physical states and suggest that we all have multiple personalities, which emerge when we least expect and desire.
