Nel vero Inland Empire, chi è davvero l’uomo della porta accanto? Larry incarnava in tutto l’uomo losangeliano a cavallo tra Settanta e Ottanta, alla ricerca della felicità, ossessionato dalla solitudine, dal sesso patinato e dall’insoddisfazione delle cose di cui si circonda. Kaari Upson ha voluto comprenderlo, capire i suoi gusti, relazionarsi a lui. Kaari non l’ha mai conosciuto. E la grotta di Hugh Hefner è il luogo delle letture comuni, delle fantasie di Larry, delle performance di Kaari, anzi di Crissy... da Mousse Magazine, intervista di Sonia Campagnola |
In the real Inland Empire, who is the real next-door neighbour? Larry was the quintessential LA man of the Seventies and Eighties, searching for happiness, haunted by loneliness, slick sexuality and dissatisfaction with everything around him. Kaari Upson wanted to figure him out, understand his tastes, interact with him. Kaari has never met him. And Hugh Hefner’s grotto is the setting for shared readings, for Larry’s fantasies, for Kaari’s – or shall we say Crissy’s – performances... from Mousse Magazine, interview by Sonia Campagnola Kaari Upson was born in San Bernardino, California, and lives in Los Angeles. She studied art at the New York Studio School and at the California Institute of the Arts, Valencia, where she received her BFA in 2004 and her MFA in 2007. She has participated in exhibitions at High Energy Constructs, Los Angeles, and 507 Rose, Venice, California, as well as in numerous shows at the galleries of CalArts. This is Upson's first museum exhibition. |
