Ames Yavuz is proud to announce Confront and Constrain, a group exhibition presenting works by Annie Cabigting, Makiko Harris, Yifan Jiang, Anya Paintsil and Anna Perach. The exhibition brings together five female-identifying artists who look at how one might think, experience and talk about freedom, and conversely the various ways in which one faces the challenges and inevitabilities of constraint - whether cultural, social, familial, gender-based or professional.
Japanese-American artist Makiko Harris (b. 1989) questions what it means to connect, or be "skintimate," in an era where touch is often mediated by screens, debuting new works that explore the complex dynamics of spectatorship, voyeurism and the body. Her practice uses the body as both image and commodity, manipulating cropped images of herself into laser-cut steel and oversized, lacquered nails, embodying both the sharp, industrial precision of technology and the intimate vulnerability of flesh.
