Cosima von Bonin’s Dog Art

(Roger and Out installation)

Cosima von Bonin’s Roger and Out is now showing at MOCA. Von Bonin, who was born in Kenya and works in Germany, is considered one of the most influential artists in today’s art scene. She’s known for her prolific work with a wide range of media including sculpture, photography, textiles, installation, performance and video. Dogs frequently appear in her art as she explores the idea of play, indoctrination, gender representations, identity and self-reflection.

This is her first solo museum exhibition in the US. I hope to get to MOCA and witness the work of such a creative mind, and of course check out the dogs. Show runs until Jan. 7, 2008. (source: Ann Goldstein, MOCA senior curator.)
