Monica Jimenez: Corre/Run
Because we're all running from something.
Overview
With little more than markings on paper, Monica Jimenez peers into the essence of life. Her drawings depict runners, swimmers, pole-dancers, and people dressing up as animals and in costumes, all in a minimalistic fashion; however whether viewed individually and as a whole, their impact is maximised.
"My characters are all runners," says Jimenez. "They have run away from their context. They have left their circumstances behind and they are floating in the page deprived of any reference." Pondering who they are and what they're running from is up to you, the viewer. In the process, you'll craft a story to finish their incomplete narratives, and challenge notions of cultural, sexual and national identity. In other words, you'll contemplate existence.
Of course, we're all running from something — or, in the case of seeing Jimenz's Corre/Run exhibition, we should be running to Junky Comics. Her pieces adorn the walls until October 20; and of course, while you're in the store, you can also ruminate over a spot of shopping.
