Donna Huanca,
‘Surrogate Painteen’
@ Peres Projects
—
Born:
1980, Chicago.
The idea:
Revealing the
underlying primordial
and mammalian
character of the
garment and its
relationship to our
body as a form of
cultural transmission.
Music reference:
‘The Day The World
Turned Day-Glo’
by X-Ray Spex.
“Huanca deconstructs
and fragments the
body, to dismantle
and recycle it into
a genderfluid, post-
human device that
is no longer limited
by interpretations
of identity.”
‘Surrogate Painteen’:
Is the New York-based
artist's first solo
exhibition with Peres
Projects – an ongoing
exploration of the
body and skin as both
pure surface and
material, featuring
performers painted
from head-to-toe,
and choreographed
to move glacially,
in a meditative state,
through her installation
environments that
consist of paintings,
sculptures & ephemera.
