Over the last 15 years, Cosima von Bonin has produced sculpture, photography, textile “paintings,” installation, performance, film, video and music--often combined in large installations. This generous survey addresses ideas of play, indoctrination, structure, improvisation, cultural and gender representations, identity and self-reflection--with both absurdity and humor. This publication accompanies the exhibition Cosima von Bonin: Roger and Out, organized by Ann Goldstein and presented at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, September 16, 2007 - January 7, 2008
