Milk
Charting the historical, cultural, and scientific resonances of milk, the exhibition draws connections between protection and power. Across the works, milk closes the space between bodies. It destabilizes those things we typically consider natural, and it asks who gets to participate in the fantasy of motherhood.

It’s all very Videodrome. That body horror manifests in phone-breath-bed 3 (2023), a sculpture presented in its own small room. A silicone face emerges out of a Perspex panel, where, lower down, a silicone slab forms a womblike concave depression. The panel hovers over the form of a hospital bed with the support of gray plastic piping, whose mattress is a screen-skin painting with creased dermal folds framing silicone protrusions that swell from the flatness.
