She uses sculpture, movement, video, and sound to transform mundane actions into theatrical events. <a href="/Events/AkiSasamotoStrangeAttractors"><i>Strange Attractors</i></a> consists of a careful arrangement of sculpturally altered, found objects that take on new roles and provide guidance for Sasamoto&rsquo;s improvisational performances that take place within the installation. The performances demonstrate Sasamoto&rsquo;s attempt to understand the mathematic structure of the Lorenz Attractor, a fractal structure that works in a dynamic system. For her performances, Sasamoto also includes additional objects related to her recent obsessions with, among other things, doughnuts, fortune-tellers, and hemorrhoids.</p></div> Whitney Museum of American Art Mon, 31 Jan 2011 11:27:56 -0500 http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/AkiSasamoto http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/AkiSasamoto <p><font color="#7f7f7f">Exhibitions/2010Biennial/AkiSasamoto/Wiki</font></p> <p><a href="http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/AkiSasamoto/Wiki"><img border="0" src="/image_columns/0020/0823/aki_portrait_267.jpg" /></a></p> <div><p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/28/t-magazine/28talk-women.html" target="_blank">Women&#8217;s Work</a></p><p><i>T Magazine/The New York Times </i>(February 2010)</p><p><a href="http://video.nytimes.com/video/2010/02/22/multimedia/1247467133340/strange-attractors-by-aki-sasamoto.html" target="_blank">T Magazine Interview Video</a></p><p><i>T Magazine/The New York Times </i>(February 2010)</p><p><a href="http://artforum.com/words/id=23246" target="_blank">500 Words: Aki Sasamoto</a></p><p><i>Artforum</i> (July 2009; note: registration required)</p><p><a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C01E0DA123EF93BA35756C0A96F9C8B63&scp=4&sq=%22aki%20sasamoto%22&st=cse" target="_blank">Art in Review; Momus with Aki Sasamoto</a></p><p><i>New York Times</i> (May 2009)</p><p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/10/arts/dance/10part.html?scp=1&sq=%22aki%20sasamoto%22&amp;amp;st=cse" target="_blank">When Everyday Things Become Something Strange</a></p><p><i>New York Times</i> (April 2009)</p></div> Whitney Museum of American Art Tue, 04 May 2010 10:02:27 -0400 http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/AkiSasamoto/Wiki http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/2010Biennial/AkiSasamoto/Wiki
