SOLO SHOW: MONET CLARK: CALIFORNIA GIRL A RETROSPECTIVE DEBUT, KROWSWORK GALLERY, Oakland, CA
“The most recent group of works, then, provides an aesthetic and energetic catharsis. Titled the “Look Book” series, these bold videos date from 2011…Set in austere, yet jewel-like environments, Clark embodies and employs the visual language of the fashion world to perform acts from the sacred to the mundane, creating moving video portraits iconographic of 21st-century California culture. The resultant pieces are sumptuously spare, raw and honest, wickedly humorous, and hold a powerful intimacy, all emanating from this one-of-a-kind California Girl.” –Krowswork Gallery
