.- Body/Magic: Liz Cohen presents all aspects of Phoenix-based artist Liz Cohens well-known Bodywork series for the first time. The exhibition at ASU Art Museum offers new and never-before-seen video, photographs, performance and ephemera related to this tour-de-force project.
For the original Bodywork series, Cohen merged two cars, the American El Camino and the East German Trabant, into one customized lowrider. Simultaneously, she transformed her own body to become a bikini model for her car, which she presented at lowrider shows in and around Phoenix, Arizona. In the car show, there are really three kinds of people, said the artist. There are the car owners, the car builders and the models that represent the cars. I want to be all three.
