EXHIBITIONS
Rosabel Rosalind
Meet Cute
October 3 - October 31
Open Saturdays 1-3pm and by Appointment
One part dating experiment, one part multimedia art installation, Meet Cute is an interactive and multi-sensory exhibition by Rosabel Rosalind that invites the community to engage in the process of crushing, either directly as a participant or nostalgically as a viewer.
The show centers around a large interactive dating tear-off poster, which advertises date-able folks in the Kansas City area for gallery-goers to pluck and potentially pursue on their own accord! Organized through an open submission process and individually hand-drawn by Rosabel, this scaled-up tear-off flyer fills the entire entrance gallery, creating a mingling space and the potential for lasting connections.
In the following room, Rosabel continues to contemplate the concept of “crushing” through a stream-of-consciousness array of drawings and sculptures that emphasize the childlike awkwardness of yearning: a whittled bust of Matthew McConaughey’s abs, a variety of sculptural objects and drawings that offer “kissing practice” tutorials, all amidst the sounds of smooching… Crushing can be playful, clumsy and melodramatic, and the works in Meet Cute exemplify just that.
