MIKA ROTTENBERG
2021-06-21Considered one of the most significant figures working in the video medium today, Argentina-born and New York-based artist Mika Rottenberg is devoted to a rigorous practice that combines film, installation, and sculpture. Exploring ideas of labour and the production of value in our contemporary hyper-capitalist world, Rottenberg shrewdly blends factual documentation and studio-built fiction to reveal the hidden dynamism of everyday systems and economies. For the artist’s first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, Rottenberg’s most recent and acclaimed video work, ‘Spaghetti Blockchain’ (2019), which debuted at New Museum in New York, will be on view at the Zurich gallery. In addition, Rottenberg will show for the first time three kinetic sculptures and new drawings made in the last year, which will be shown alongside video work ‘Sneeze’ (2012) and mechanical sculptures ‘Finger’ (2019) and ‘Ponytail (Gray)’ (2019).
