Jillian Mayer Debuts Solo Exhibition in Los Angeles

Showroom Jun 4 – Jul 9, 2016

OneFifty artist Jillian Mayer recently made waves with her solo exhibition in Los Angeles, SHOWROOM, presenting works that explore the relationship between technology, the internet, and their effects on human identity and daily experiences. SHOWROOM opened June 4, and includes newly commissioned video and sculpture examining the results of technology on contemporary subjectivity.

You can visit the Slumpies webpage to learn more about the sculptures and models or enjoy a preview in the videos below. Stop by LAXART, the alternative art space in Los Angeles, to see Jillian’s exhibit through July 9. Official press release:

Acknowledging our ever-increasing relationship with one of mankind’s best inventions, the smart phone, Mayer’s “Slumpie” sculptures are functional structures meant to relieve the human body of its duty to support both its own weight and the figurative weight of technology. Viewers are allowed to interact (ie. slump upon) these structures, and select structures will emit Wi-Fi during specific times. As the artist explains, “With new research indicating that smartphone users spend an average of 4.7 hours on their devices daily, one must wonder why there has not been an increase in physical structures that will help support the human body in this journey to connect globally through their phone.”

This exhibition is accompanied by Jillian Mayer’s participation in the LAXART Public Domain platform. During the run of her show, Mayer will be presenting a site-specific billboard. Forthcoming projects with LAXART Public Domain include a series of short videos to be presented as part of the Digital Billboard series on the Sunset Strip.
