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.
