Veronika Pausova & Frances Adair Mckenzie: Busy Bodies
United in this duo exhibition at Parisian Laundry, Adair McKenzie and Pausova offer puzzles that, each in their unique way, elicit a temptation to animation and even to a certain animism. Carapaces, bags, clothes, folding screens: so many veils and envelopes are here bunched up like a glove鈥檚 fingers, joyously displayed, and shamelessly offered to viewers like bait to lure our eyes, to play with, outplay, and ultimately stimulate our own desire to see.
