LaToya Ruby Frazier will be among 28 international artists from 13 countries featured in the 2011 Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale.

‘Terra Incognita’, the theme of 2011 Incheon Women Artists’ Biennale, is based on the concept of ‘Multiverse’. Multiverse (also called ‘Parallel Universes’) is a theory that our universe would be just one among infinite universes, and that within these, places could exist where our doubles reside and unknowingly mirror our actions.

“Kathe Kowalski was my photography professor at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. I remember the first moment we met. She was hanging examples of her students’ work in the hallway. I offered to help and began holding the prints as she tacked them up one at a time. The moment we exchanged our names, I knew that our meeting was a divine appointment.”

“Intimacies” at Gallery 400

9/9/11 – 10/22/11
Gallery 400
Intimacies
Curated by John Neff and Lorelei Stewart

September 9-October 22, 2011
Reception: Friday, September 9, 5-8 pm

Elijah Burgher/Tom Daws | LaToya Ruby Frazier | Desirée Holman | Leigh Ledare | Laurel Nakadate | Michael Sirianni

In the six artists’ works in Intimacies the camera is an active agent in the creation of social events, not just a recording instrument in the hands of an autonomous documentarian. The primarily photographic and video works, some of which include painting and sculptural elements, focus on charged interpersonal encounters. Beyond serving as indices of such encounters, the included artworks reveal the reconfigured effects of such exchanges, disclosing the complexity of authorship, agency, and viewership in today’s world.
