March 28 - June 6, 2010

For her exhibition at KW|AG, Dyan Marie focuses her attention on the body as a site of transmission. In her Mammal video projection and the series of images titled Life on Earth, we encounter a hybrid body - part artist as performer and part digital animation. In Worknest, multiple projections of tunnel-like openings appear on the gallery floor, the artist appearing to burrow through the surface and make contact. Touching on the monstrous, the inquisitive and the generous nature of symbiotic relationships, Is There No One In The World Who Can Fly? questions why we work the way we do, and how the value of work might be interpreted by others.
