The Magic Window October 11, 2008

Please come to the opening of Desiree Holman’s show on Saturday, October 11th at 8pm at Machine Project! Desiree recreates the staging of classic family sitcoms like the Cosby Show and Roseanne, and uses these as sets for a masked cast of characters in her video “The Magic Window”. She explores the idea of role-play in her performances and videos, bringing up questions of the nature of reality in our increasingly technology-dependent world. Her work asks the viewer to question the performative nature of everyday life. What is our chimpanzee mask, where do we hide? Her show at Machine runs for the entire month. Machine Project is located at 1200 D North Alvarado St in Echo Park. Phone number is (213) 483-8761. For more information visit www.machineproject.com or email machine@machineproject.com.
