   Ants, bacteria strains and scents are among some of the materials Anicka Yi incorporates into her latest exhibition, Life is Cheap, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City.  Yi, the 2016 recipient of the Hugo Boss Prize which recognizes outstanding achievement in contemporary art, worked with molecular biologists and chemists to create her immersive exhibit.  The artist used a scientific approach to ensure her work engages all of the senses while providing a space to question how physical perception is affected by gender, race and class assumptions.  We anticipate art aficionados and science lovers rubbing elbows at this innovative installation.

Life is Cheap opens April 21, 2017 and closes July 5, 2017.

   Contemporary artist and designer, Tony Peralta, is expanding the idea of beauty one screen-printed painting at a time.  Peralta’s latest exhibit, Rolos and Icons II, uses images of iconic Latinas in hair rollers to explore themes of beauty, culture and power.  The pop images, with a Dominican and hip hop influence, are more than just fun and vibrant.  They also send a message to women - these legends are you and you are these legends.

Rolos and Icons II is on view at the Mexican Consulate in Los Angeles from April 12 - May 12, 2017.

   Although it’s only Thursday, the weekend will be here in no time.  If you are looking for a fun activity and live near New York City, we recommend you visit the Whitney Museum’s 2017 Biennial (March 17 - June 11, 2017).  Co-curators Christopher Y. Lew and Mia Locks have gathered sixty-three artists, ranging from emerging to established, for this exhibition.  Among the key themes explored in the Biennial are the formation of self and the individual’s place in a turbulent society.  Hello, how relevant is this examination given today’s environment?  Don’t miss the opportunity to witness how cutting edge artists examine and interpret these topics.
