MPA/MONDAY 12 NOVEMBER/VISITS

ID/NEW GENRES/SCULPTURE

MPA is an exhibitionist following a living art practice. Her solo and collaborative works focus on performance often in combination with photography, film, text, and sculpture. Enriched with ritual, these acts service a political exercise of the body stimulating questions for participation, resistance, and the intimacy between both. Her work has been presented in New York by The Swiss Institute, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Art in General, The Kitchen, Larissa Goldston Gallery, Higher Pictures, and Movement Research; in Chicago at the Museum of Contemporary Art, the School of the Art Institute, and Pilot TV; in London at Yinka Shonibare's Guest Projects, Zendai MoMA in Shanghai, and the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca in Mexico. Her 2011 solo show “Directing Light onto Fist of Father” at Leo Koenig Inc. in New York, NY was acclaimed in the New York Times by Holland Cotter for “its simple but ingenious, and dynamic, theatricality”. MPA is based in Brooklyn, NY.

MPA will be showing in Gap, Mark, Sever, and Return with Fiona Connor, Mandla Reuter, and Erika Vogt at Human Resources on Thursday 15 November, 7-9PM.
