HONOLULU, HAWAI’I – SPF Projects is
pleased to present two solo exhibitions, Glass Delusion and No Titles
No Territories. Featuring the work of New York-based Los Angeles native,
Willa Nasatir and Los Angeles-based New York native Elizabeth Sonenberg. Glass
Delusion and No Titles No Territories represent Nasatir and
Sonenberg’s first solo shows outside of the contiguous United States.
Glass Delusion takes
its title from a mental disorder characterized by a fear of being made of glass
and consequently a fear of shattering into pieces at the slightest (mis)touch.
Evoking hallucinations and points of simultaneous pleasure, Nasatir's
alternative-process color photographs explore the overflowing boundaries of
image making and of sensuality.
No Titles No Territories presents
an installation composed of movement video loops and a floor print of a found asemic
text. Sonenberg investigates forms of unintelligible communication, presenting
the relationship between impulsive gesture and compulsive absorption. In
fetishizing her own movements, Sonenberg creates a language that bridges object
and body.
SPF Projects provides a
venue for the production and display of contemporary art and theory in
Honolulu. With a focus on building the capacity for critically engaged art and
dialogue in the Islands, SPF is dedicated to developing a cross-disciplinary
and intergenerational program through the exhibition of local, national, and
international artists and thinkers.
