Carrie Yamaoka: See-saw
On view through August 9, 2025
I have been revisiting works that lay dormant in my studio. These works may have been unresolved, or damaged, just hankering for some kind of redemption. Or they no longer pass muster for one reason or another. I find myself more interested in errors and defects than I ever was in the past. I re-work and reconfigure these works—destroying their original form, peeling layers off, breaking them into constituent parts.

Anonymous is pleased to present See-saw, an exhibition by Carrie Yamaoka, in association with Ulterior. The works installed range from the early 1990s to the present, tracing a conceptual and procedural thread across media and across time. In addition to revisited works, the exhibition includes works that serve as harbingers of trajectories of what would transpire and develop in the future.

Emerging from a formative background in photography and fascinated by the camera's ability to record and inability to represent, Carrie Yamaoka explores processes of recording and transformation across painting, sculpture, and installation. The artist’s first monograph is a thoughtful examination of her cross-disciplinary practice over several decades.
