I picked them up on the street to work for me.
I am showing my new performance/video installation at ProArts located at Oakland Art Gallery. I titled this new work “Exinclusivity.” I hope you can come to see my new exploration. Through my previous sculptural installation practices, I had been thinking about how desire and power make us self-destructive often from the historical or political point of view. This time, I wanted to deal with the sa in a more direct way through exploitative labor conditions.
