Xandra Ibarra, Spic Skin (Cucaracha), 2016, Archival pigment print, 60 x 50 inches
Inventory of Exhaustion is a solo exhibition of new visual works by Oakland-based performance artist Xandra Ibarra (a.k.a La Chica Boom). Featured will be a selection of large-scale photographic works titled Spic Skins, named after Ibarra’s parody-based performances: “spictacles.” The photographs feature vacuum-sealed costumes as artifacts of exhaustion, byproducts, empty spaces, voids, literally vacuumed of matter. The works become sites for locating Ibarra’s body without an image, incorporeal gestures of the self. These costumes as skins are thrown-off, separated, and become vacant forms of herself.
