Victoria Fu and Matt Rich: Monster A.
April 7, 2019 – September 1, 2019
Monster A. joins the artistic practices of San Diego-based artists and collaborators Victoria Fu and Matt Rich. Fu’s screen-like images and textures combine with Rich’s bold palette and painterly surfaces on sewn fabric elements that take the form of aprons. Their installation consists of a series of site-responsive vignettes that draw together the aprons with neon sculptures and vinyl wallpaper elements. The theatrical display challenges the traditionally utilitarian nature of the apron and the implications of gender and labor associated with it, while also suggesting the familiar bodily experience of wearing one.
This exhibition was organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and curated by Cassandra Coblentz.
