Follow on Google News | Yellow Peril Gallery presents Beast Boutique by Jennifer Avery at SATELLITE Miami Beach 2015Providence-based contemporary art gallery to present an installation of Beast Boutique, born out of Jennifer Avery’s Artist Residency with the Hermès Foundation
Beast Boutique deconstructs “Little Red Riding Hood” and merges the personalities of Little Red, Grandmother and Wolf into one body – a patchwork of fragmented identities that inhabit an architecture that is both forest and boutique, and oscillates between selling her dolls (an act of prostitution / commodity / pleasure) and creating them (an act of passion / auto-eroticism / necessity). Both acts critique and celebrate the performance of femininity and Eros simultaneously. In medieval manifestations of the fairytale, the Wolf asks Little Red if she will follow the path of pins or the path of needles to Grandmother’ As she walks through the forest of paradox and feminist action, will our heroine choose the path of pins or the path of needles? SATELLITE is a series of on-site and offsite projects and events fostering experiential and exploratory interactions with art, which includes Artist-Run under the curatorial direction of Tiger Strikes Asteroid at Ocean Terrace Hotel. The Press Preview + Vernissage for SATELLITE is Tuesday, December 1, from 4PM – 10PM.
