Laresa Kosloff – Head case in point

Laresa Kosloff's artistic practice examines various representational strategies, each one linked by an interest in the body and its agency within the everyday. Some of her projects are structured around language, including her subliminal public service announcements broadcast throughout museum infrastructure and public sites, while others use slapstick physicality to communicate ideas, as seen in her video for Art Screen, titled Head case in point.

Kosloff chose family and friends to appear in the video. The choreography was planned through a drawing process that explores figure-ground relationships and ritualised performance. Her exhibition encourages viewers to consider the expressive qualities of amateur drawings and untrained performance, as well as the theatrics of football and performed masculinity on the field.
