It takes a lot to hold my attention. This day and age, if you're not on your iPhone browsing the internet, while your mp3 player soundtracks your walk to work, and doing a crossword puzzle than you are just being a lazy. Everyone seems to have self inflicted ADD and I am no different. Which is why I was caught off guard by Miwa Matreyek's exhibit at Space 1026 in Chinatown Sunday evening. It completely hypnotized me.
Don't think for a second I was without my distractions either. Between the weighty smell of BO, female armpit hair, and the surrounding exhibits there was plenty to distract me. Miwa, who hails from Los Angeles, California, and her animated first person interactive sideshow have been touring the country for a while now. Miwa animates all of her pieces and composes the music as well. And if that's not enough, she hogs the spotlight, snagging the lead role in every work so far.
But there really aren't enough words to do her justice so watch this and check her out next time she's in town.
Miwa Matreyek, check.
