GLOVE FLAVORED to be featured on Galeria Vida for Spring 2023 Online Exhibition

I’m pleased to announce that my latest project GLOVE FLAVORED will be featured on Galeria Vida from April 2023 through June 2023. The exhibition will feature six new photographs and one video, starring Carmen Monoxide and scored by Casey Baker.

Some info about GLOVE FLAVORED:

In GLOVE FLAVORED, Mills ruminates on the conflicting emotions of the sublime and the grotesque in relation to moments of medical intervention. Latex gloves symbolizing both protection and detachment, and the unidentified viscera, representing both the fragility and resilience of the human body, create a visual tension that reflects on the complexities of our relationship to medical spaces and procedures.

Hospitals, with their sterile atmosphere and often impersonal décor, are meant to provide a sense of safety and cleanliness. They can evoke a sense of hope and grandeur, due to their association with life-saving technology and the expertise of the learned medical professionals who work within them. Yet, these spaces can also remind us of our mortality. They elicit feelings of discomfort, fear, and vulnerability, as both patients and visitors are confronted with their own bodily limitations. Medical-grade tools and disposable antimicrobial personal protective gear remind us of our dependence on invasive medical intervention for survival.

Some info about Galeria Vida:

Galeria Vida provides on-line, public access to exhibits (solo & group), interviews (art zines), and events (quarterly art socials). We aim to keep the platform highly exclusive by only extending private invitations, as opposed to offering open calls to the masses. A catalog of our prior line-ups can be found at galeriavida.com/CATALOG .
