Sarah Rara is presenting a new 2 channel video work “Perfect Touch” that will be projected at architectural scale in Downtown LA on the North/South facing facades of 154 South Olive Street on April 9 from 7-10pm.link to exhibition website: https://luminexla.com
In Perfect Touch 2021, a set of hands present string figure games in sequence: giving and receiving, relaying connections, modeling networks, patterns to inhabit, digit upon digit. The two channels, situated on opposite faces, form a digital embrace across a divide, mirroring with difference. String figure games model our interconnectedness, searching for a way to visualize the influence that one body exerts on another. Making use of the physical interval, Perfect Touch explores the in-between spaces and invisible entanglements between us, navigating connection alongside distance and loss. - Mike Glier’s Bird Songs of the Boston Public Garden currently on display March 20 – April 24, 2021 at the Krakow Witkin Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston, MA.
