Western Front unveils new exhibition Wishing on My Falsies, January 11 to April 5
Works by collective A Maior and multidisciplinary artist Katayoon Yousefbigloo draw inspiration from the myth-making potential of playing dress-up
Western Front presents Wishing on My Falsies, an exhibition by collective A Maior and multidisciplinary artist Katayoon Yousefbigloo, from January 11 to April 5. An opening reception with a live performance from Yousefbigloo will take place on January 11 from 5 pm to 7 pm.
Wishing on My Falsies explores the myth-making potential of playing dress-up. Inspired by the superstition of wishing on fallen eyelashes, the exhibition title reinterprets this ritual through a synthetic channel for desire, reflecting A Maior and Yousefbigloo’s interest in the aspirations and delusions that drive modes of self-fashioning.
Images from a seasonal lookbook by A Maior are scaled up as billboard-sized wallpapers. These bookend an installation by Yousefbigloo featuring a video and a collection of bootleg merchandise that expands on her P.L.U.R.O.M.A. lifestyle brand.
Wishing on My Falsies is presented with support from the Audain Foundation. More information is at Western Front.
