MAIN GALLERY: GeoVanna Gonzalez: HOW TO: Oh, look at me
HOW TO: Oh, look at me, a new site-specific installation by Miami and Berlin-based artist GeoVanna Gonzalez, functions as the fifth iteration of the artist’s ongoing HOW TO series, in which Gonzalez creates works of art to accompany poems featured in the online open-source poetry collection tutorials by Martin Jackson at www.tutorials.fyi. The project serves as a physical embodiment of Martin Jackson’s poem No Rothko, creating an immersive environment that captures the metaphysical experience of viewing a Rothko painting and sharing this experience as a collective activity. HOW TO: Oh, look at me expresses Gonzalez’s deep commitment to creating provocative, participatory social spaces within institutional settings. As acts of queer infiltration and class-aware interventionism, her work asks the viewer to see and explore, to dance and read out loud the potential of our embodied cognition.
