Eat Your Ear:

The Fallibility, Futility, and Fun of Never Knowing What Your Taste Sounds Like

by Ash Strazzinski

Exhibition: March 29th - April 2nd

Reception: April 1st, 5pm - 8pm

Eat Your Ear is a contemplation of gender, sex, and the body. Utilizing photography, video, sculptural assemblage, installation, and tediously handmade objects, it is an exploration of CORECCTNESS; empowering exhibitionism; self-surveillance; maintenance, care, and embodied experience. It is about the futility of never fully knowing yourself and the acceptance of fallibility. This work is about play as a means of learning and developing strategies for mental, physical, and spiritual support and survival.

Ash Strazzinski (b. 1987, she/her) is a multidisciplinary, visual artist and creative placemaker who is deeply invested in playtime; wildly curious about bodies; mystified by femininity and masculinity; and confused about gender. She makes photographs, zines, installations, and occasionally objects. As a creative placemaker, she co-creates comfortable and unassuming spaces where people can come together to explore their creativity and examine their world through productive and non-productive labor. She activates empty storefronts, occupies conference rooms afterhours, and infiltrates farmer’s markets as a means of meeting people where they’re at in order to strengthen existing communities through art, interventions, and conversations.
