Curator, Do You Want to Quit? Intimacy, Site, Self
January 13, 2018 to February 10, 2018
University Art Gallery, UC Irvine
Works by Morehshin Allahyari, Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings, and Angela Washko
Prompted by Arlie R. Hochschild’s definition of “emotional labor,” Do You Want to Quit? accordingly addresses the relationship between the digital network, as an expanse of connection, and the management of the body into a place of inquiry. Allahyari uses the digital environment to visualize an emotional relationship and 3-D printing to ‘re-Figure’ traditional and mythic beings; Quinlan and Hastings immortalize the gay bar in the wake of its slow eradication by gentrification in the United Kingdom; and Washko expands her criticisms of the inherent dangers associated with Men’s Rights Activists and Pick-Up Artist culture through a first-person text-based video game and an interactive video.
