Marni Kotak & Ajax Kotak Bell: Seriously Kidding Around
Microscope Gallery is very pleased to present Seriously Kidding Around, a performance / installation and exhibition of individual and collaborative works in video, painting, photography, and mixed-media by artist Marni Kotak and her 10-year-old son Ajax Kotak Bell.
Seriously Kidding Around 鈥� the 6th exhibition at the gallery by Kotak 鈥� recognizes 10 years of 鈥淩aising Baby X鈥� (RBX), a project launched at 10:17AM on October 25, 2011 when the artist gave birth to her son Ajax as a live performance as part of her exhibition 鈥淭he Birth of Baby X鈥� at the gallery鈥檚 original space in Bushwick, Brooklyn. Since its inception, the collaborative project has positioned the raising of a child as a work of art and aimed to make visible both the unseen and uncelebrated daily labor of mothering or nurturing a child to adulthood. RBX also acknowledges the overlooked everyday experiences and challenges a child faces at home and within the wider society during the process of growing up and into an independent person.
