Janine Antoni Wears a Dollhouse

Now this I had not seen before. I spied a picture in an ad in Artforum for Janine Antoni's upcoming show at Luhring Augustine:


In case you are intrigued too, this is a metaphor for mothering, according to the artist, where the mother "wears" the house like a skirt, as a way of bearing the family drama. You can read more in the gallery's press release. I have always been a fan of her tactile works made of chocolate and soap, and her body performance pieces too. Now I am a bigger fan! Very clever! Too bad the show is on the west coast.
