DESCRIPTION:SculptureCenter is pleased to present&nbsp\;<strong>Aki Sasamot
 o's</strong>&nbsp\;first solo exhibition in a U.S. museum. Working at the 
 intersection of performance and sculpture\, Sasamoto creates object scenar
 ios out of narratives and actions. For her exhibition in SculptureCenter's
  lower level galleries\, Sasamoto will create a new body of work in relati
 on to the site.&nbsp\;\nThe dung beetle resourcefully rolls its home and f
 ood into one mobile unit\, an activity that operates as a starting point f
 or Sasamoto's exhibition. Featuring new sculptural units that similarly ro
 ll through the space\, once activated by Sasamoto these units become rotat
 ing sites that explore neuroses around cleanliness and filth. Rotation rea
 ppears in an installation of washing and drying machines modified and peri
 odically used by the artist in her performances. The exhibition also inclu
 des a new video and other sculptures that touch on "base" elements and rep
 ression.&nbsp\;\nA cycle of performances articulating the stream of consci
 ousness and associations between the various elements&mdash\;such as the w
 ashing machines\, bed sheets\, and mobile units&mdash\;that Sasamoto has i
 ncorporated in her sculptures is scheduled for the following dates:&nbsp\;
 \nSunday\, September 18\, 4:30: SOLD OUT\nSaturday\, September 24\, 3pm: S
