Critics’ Pick

Jul, 2017
This exhibition views the human body through its dehumanization. The show’s title alone, “Sticky Fingers,” evokes all manner of flesh, tainted and tantalizing. Caroline Mesquita’s carnival of sheet-metal monsters, displayed here as sculptures, also surrounds the artist in her video The Ballad, 2017, where they engage in standoffs and sexual acts.

Martha Kirszenbaum has curated this group show, featuring Meriem Bennani, Elizabeth Jaeger, Wanda Koop, Piotr Łakomy, An Te Liu, Elizabeth McIntosh, Caroline Mesquita, and Louise Sartor, by bringing together works that “evoke the fragile tangibility of the human body, intertwining materiality with theatrical playfulness” to “ultimately disclose the vast disconnectedness and loneliness of modern existence.”
