Aurora Reinhard is known for her controversial work exploring the tensions and structures of contemporary society \u2013 in particular our obsessive representations of gender and female sexuality. In her new solo exhibition Perfect<\/em> Reinhard plays with the addictive, accelerating mannerisms that she sees predominating in commercial definitions of gender.<\/p>\n

With Perfect<\/em>, Reinhard presents new work, including photography and craft-intensive sculpture, which is not a departure from \u2013 but rather a continuum of \u2013 her established oeuvre. She significantly expands on the fetish-based and surrealist approaches she has worked with in recent years. By including both detailed sculptures and quite haunting photographs she develops a richly multi-layered statement, giving painstaking attention to the prevailing, escapist maneuvers. Instead of settling for Freudian slips or righteous ideologies, Reinhard advances a bold statement questioning the widespread acceptance and condescendence to a female role determined by commercialized society and conducted by its members.<\/p>\n

Aurora Reinhard<\/code> (b. 1975, lives and works in Helsinki) works with video, photography and hyper-realistic objects fetishizing the everyday. Reinhard holds an MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki. Her works are internationally renowned, with exhibitions at the Shedhalle, Z\u00fcrich; Fridericianum, Kassel; Ludwig Museum, Cologne and Platform Garanti, Istanbul. Her experimental documentary Boygirl<\/em> (2002) won the International media art award from ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany.<\/p>\n

Exhibition is open<\/code>
\nMarch 4 \u2013 April 8, 2012 Tuesdays and Thursdays 3-7pm, Sundays 12-4pm.
