Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to present a solo exhibition and a performance of Wynne Greenwood in the fourth gallery. For this exhibition, Greenwood constructs a women’s spa in the gallery to look at security, transformation and mythic interaction. The space of the spa is suggested with hand-dyed fabric flooring and video projection. The fabric floor extends upwards into space through three 3-D soft sculpture forms.

As the soaking pools, the videos in the show are loose prayers of noticing and un-isolation. For the video “Pregnant Medusa,” Greenwood puts Medusa and Pebbles Flintstone into relationship to engage symbols and archetypes of woman behavior and being. Taking these myths out of isolation allows for transformation of the cartoonish experience of being stuck in one role. In “Rose, Wall, Purpose,” Greenwood further explores the experience of isolated subject-hood through a collage of physical movement with the camera and acknowledgement of the frame.

Viewers are invited to sit on floor mats, made from old purses and bags. Greenwood has dyed fabric to match the bags’ patterns, woven the strips of fabric into baskets, and then cut them open to lie on the floor as mats. Forms designated to hold, to possess, unfold into locations, places to be here. Security is not held in the ownership of an idea, but rather in the participation with it. Greenwood will perform in the gallery as the space of the spa.

Wynne Greenwood received her MFA in 2004 at the Milton Avery Graduate School for the Arts, Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY.
