Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to announce SOMEBODY STOP ME, a solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles artist Amanda Ross-Ho from April 1 through May 1 in the Chelsea gallery. This will be the artist's first solo show in New York. She will exhibit work including sculpture, photography, and installation. Ross-Ho's work brings together seemingly oppositional languages and spaces: personal imagery and autobiographical artifacts are mined for formal qualities; traces and residues from studio practices are meticulously re-created as deliberate gestures; boundaries between private work and public display are collapsed. She revisits images and forms in multiple iterations, creating scale shifts, moving among different media, or using positive and negative structures. SOMEBODY STOP ME uses sculpture, photographs, paintings, and engagement with the gallery's architecture to define terms of a constantly evolving personal language. A variety of techniques – ranging from large-scale printed graphics, to hand made textiles, to commercial fabrication – diagram relationships between economies of production and presentation.
'Somebody Stop Me', Amanda Ross-Ho's title for her first New York solo show, has the platitudinous ring of a bumper sticker or the type of all-caps outburst that the American comic-strip character Cathy might make just before a frenzied spending spree at a shoe shop. (Punch-line: 'On second thought, don't!')
