taisha paggett: com.pleats.we (housecoat)
631 West 2nd St., Los Angeles, CA 90012
Sunday, May 16 at 12:00 AM 11:59 PM
Ends May 23, 2021
VIRTUAL EVENT Under the surveillance of a 24/7 livestream, taisha paggett will inhabit and thus domesticate the professional site of REDCAT and, across those 168 hours, perhaps also domesticate the lens that has commanded such a central role in most of our lives of late. A palimpsest of real and invented realities, paggett’s com.pleats.we (housecoat) aims to be a living and moving score and endurance mediation on our current times, in which the artist passes through pedestrian and non-pedestrian tasks, online public and “non-public” encounters, and different performative ontologies rooted in her daily life and ongoing research into botany, experimental anatomy, and the complicated aliveness of both Black collectivity and solitude. In doing so, she hopes to offer a space for reflection on and interrogation of what has become our accidental new normal: a strange flattening and twisting of the public/private, the domestic/workplace, the professional/the vulnerable, the worker/the householder, and more.
