PAST EXHIBITION

Bathers

June 7, 2007—July 29, 2007

The exhibition investigates our preconceived notions of leisure and relaxation, making it a timely summer offering.  In creating his watery images of swimmers and beach-goers, Zika engages in critical discourse on the consumption of leisure by re-examining the timeless image of the bather.  Selecting and appropriating imagery from promotional brochures for tourist resorts and vacation destinations, Zika manipulates these idyllic, if banal, panoramas to suggest our role as willing participants in this game of seduction.
