The 59th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, Italy

April 23 – November 27, 2024

[An exhibition space with white walls and a cement floor filled with objects. On the left of the space is an upright brown La-Z-Boy chair tilted forward toward the right wall, revealing the metal armature supporting its uprightness. In the center of the space further back and to the right of the chair is a white ceramic sink that sits upright atop a brown stand with wheels. The sink, with its basin facing forward, approximates the overall shape and form of an old television. In the far right corner is a cluster of three standing air purifiers. On the wall on the left is a white ceramic sink hung vertically with its basin facing the center, approximating the overall shape and form of an old television. On the opposite site wall is a brown framed drawing. In the center of the back wall a smaller object is hung at the wall.]

[A close-up view of a line drawing in black pen on brown-toned paper in a light wooden frame. The drawing is of a person with tightly coiled curly hair resting in bed while looking at an Apple brand laptop. The figure lays on a pillow with their head propped up by their hand. Their face is mostly obscured by the laptop revealing only one eye. Their body is covered in a blanket. The folds of the blanket take up half of the surface of the drawing.]

[In a gallery space, on the left side are two identical small black boxes sit directly on the floor, plugged into electrical sockets on the wall. On their top, identical configurations of logs appear burning in flames. Through small slits in the boxes, wires and electrical components are visible. On their right an upright brown fake leather La-Z-Boy chair tilts forward. Underneath its base is a black square tubed metal armature supporting its uprightness. The chair has a handful of ergonomic seams across its surface.]
