MOMA PS1

Went to the MOMA PS1 in Queens, New York today, probably just discovered one of my favorite artists."A 35-year-old artist and filmmaker, Nakadate, who was born in Austin, Texas, to Japanese and American parents, probes the borderline between the exhibitionism, exploitation, and vulnerability of young women."Laurel Nakadate's exhibition displays work that forces the viewer into an uncomfortable atmosphere, but it is so unique that you have to keep watching! I even got the chance to see her, and compared to her work she looks completely normal.


Check out this column Vogue did about her on their website!!

Another strange thing about her is that most of her videos and films include complete strangers; men and women.
