Description
LACE is thrilled to announce an upcoming solo exhibition with Gina Osterloh for Summer 2012. For the past several years, Osterloh has constructed life-size room environments through still serial performances with anonymous women, paper-maché models, and cardboard cutouts. Taking place in our main gallery, she will create three stage sets that explore the relationships between abstraction and identity, the space between individuals, and what determines “a group†within a social context. Each stage set will be unique in both material and lighting. Building upon previous working methods, the artist will conduct a series of photo shoots in each set with volunteers from the public, as well as cardboard cut outs of human figures.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Gina Osterloh is an artist and educator based in Los Angeles, California. Currently she is working on a short film essay that addresses issues of perception and identity through the lens of blindness.

This September 2011, she has been selected to attend the Woodstock Artist in Residency Program for Photograph in Woodstock, New York.
