Ari Fish is a Kansas City, Missouri based artist having her debut solo show in Seattle at The Alice. Her work spans many media, from sculpture and photography, to clothing design, drawing, writing, and large scale multimedia installation. Fish’s work integrates elements of sacred ritual, religious study, multisensory saturation and deprivation, and stresses an emphasis on survival and necessity.
The line between blame and confession, projection and acceptance, choice and mandate, and life and death feels, at times, palpable. KOAN COMPOSITES is the fourth installment of the SPEAK AND SPELL SERIES of temporary temples by Ari Fish, and is an obliterated riddle of the probability of these palpabilities. Fish has orchestrated the fourth installation in the series to allow the congregants of the temporary temple to engage in disengaging. The Alice has been transformed into an ethereal and challenging experience for the viewer to process the acceptance of death, rebirth, and nothing. All are welcome to come as they are, and leave as they will be.
