Danish artist Hannah Toticki’s debut museum solo show, “Everything Everywhere All at Once", will appear at the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens through May 28. Toticki, who has a background in theater, has created a sculptural utilitarian wardrobe, a nod to the untenably busy lives many live in the modern era. The ironically unwearable garments have various artifacts of daily life integrated into their design. Toticki’s work comments on our lives as humans in this age - playing many roles all at once in an effort to get everything done, and burning ourselves out in the process. In so doing, we are rendered, it seems, not much more than a pawn being moved around mechanically by industrial and technocratic masters.
Hangama Amiri’s work will be presented at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield Conneticult, through June 11. The Afghani artist’s ouevre is a tapestry of tapestries - vast colorful arrays of patterned assemblages, elevating the ancient craft to create a modern outlook on the role of women in civic and cultural life where they disappear in and out of the shadows at the whim of male prescription. The elaborate and masterfully constructed works simultaneously nod to the past, when women were the housebound originators of the useful arts, as well as the ultimate indominablilty of the feminine half.
