Last Chance : Mika Rottenberg 'Squeeze'
Until Dec. 18 @ Mary Boone Gallery
Mika Rottenberg's latest work Squeeze continues the artist's inquiry into the mechanisms by which value is generated, considering the logistics of global outsourcing and the alchemy of art production. Through moviemagic portals Rottenberg links video of her Harlem studio stage set to on-location footage of an iceberg lettuce arm in Arizona and a rubber plant in Kerala, India. This composite factory toils ceaselessly to create a single precious object, one small sculpture. The video is presented in a custom-made theater. The sculpture is inaccessible - preserved offshore, out of reach for public or private viewing.
Mika Rottenberg was born in Buenos Aires in 1976, and holds a BFA from the School of Visual Arts (2000) and an MFA from Columbia University (2004). She lives and works in New York. Solo exhibitions include San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; La Maison Rouge, Paris; KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Berlin; and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York. Her work has been exhibited in the 2008 Whitney Biennial, Whitney Museum of American Art; the Tate Modern, London; Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao and New York); The Museum of Modern Art, New York; 
Uncertain States of America: American Art in the Third Millenium(multiple venues, 2005-2006). In 2011 she will have a monographic exhibition at de Appel Arts Centre, Amsterdam.
