Ross-Ho is one of the leading Los Angeles artists of her generation. This installation is her largest and most ambitious to date and presents her ongoing engagement with translation, scale and gestures, through fabricated objects, textiles and photographs within a custom architectural environment.
AMANDA ROSS-HO: TEENY TINY WOMAN will transform the MOCA Pacific Design Center space via a massive looping architectural exchange. The exhibition includes 17 wall panels, collectively equivalent to the exact interior measurements of her downtown L.A. studio, which were built onsite in the exhibition space and then transferred to her studio space. For an extended time, they accumulated the genuine residue of production, acting as literal stages for a series of hyperbolic, choreographed maneuvers borrowed from daily studio activity.
For the exhibition, the walls will be returned to the museum, creating an architectural lining on which to present a connective system of discreet works—paintings, objects, and textiles—compounded in an address of translation, scale, and nested opposition. Each wall, based on the proportions of a sheet of paper, acts as a museum-scale page on which to present a non-linear flux of data, taxonomical arrangements, and explicitly authored compositions.
