Miyoshi Barosh: Feel Better
at Luis De Jesus
Imagine a bunch of felines on acid, driving through downtown Los Angeles in a supped up Caddy sipping martinis, purring to Lady GaGa and you’ve acquired just a taste of Miyoshi Barosh’s fantastical and scathing sensibility. Barosh’s kitties are ensconced in folksy decadence, and could be read as stand-ins for our own human failings, i.e. the things we value most are cute kittens, shiny cars, violent movies and plastic surgery while all around us the world goes to hell. Barosh offers no panacea, no easy fix, just a seething, stagnant biosphere of gluttony, a fractured utopia. And be sure to check out Martin Durazo’s “Sub(versions)” in the Project Space. It’ll blow your mind.
