Press Release of "Dough"

    

M I K A   R O T T E N B E R G 

 

D O U G H

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

JANUARY 27 - FEBRUARY 25, 2006

 

RECEPTION: FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 6 - 8 P.M.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

     Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery is pleased to present Dough, a solo exhibition of videos, sculptures and drawings by Mika Rottenberg. The exhibition is on view from January 27th to February 25th, 2006, with a reception on Friday, January 27th, from 6 to 8 p.m.

 

     "Bodies, at once repulsive and sensual, larger-than-life and ever-so-ordinary, are vital to factories: their products appropriated; their shapes subsumed; their excretions packaged; their quirks put to work. Here is where the freakshow meets the sweatshop. Factories take on the features of cages and kitchens, their technology at once whimsical and industrial. A pinwheel spins. Dough rises. A bicycle chain ferries fingernails. Sweat is shrink-wrapped. Virginity is conveyed along belts. An allergic reaction becomes a force of production.

 

     There is materialism and anti-materialism. On the one hand, factories are designed to the minute specification of material substance: dough is subject to entropy and gravity, yeast is subject to oxygen and heat, value is subject to demand and supply, and bodies are subject to growth and decay. While on the other hand, causal processes violate expectations of space and time: sweat drips too slowly to collect in that quantity; dough is too thick to stretch that far; bodies are too fragile to sit so stooped; life is too short to labor that long.

 

     There is at once a contraction and expansion of human capability. Persons, though full-blooded and able-bodied, have their degrees of freedom constrained to a single plane. Twist, pull, peddle, shove. Squeeze, blow, wipe, crinkle. Yet, their seemingly useless properties are finally utilized; their seemingly monstrous attributes are finally actualized. A sneeze is harnessed. Double-joints are wielded. Gender becomes a motive force. Gigantism is yoked. Obesity is deployed. Ethnicity provides traction.

 

     In an economic climate evermore set on circulation-based theories of value, Mika Rottenberg's videos and drawings emphasizes the centrality of labor. In a political climate evermore set on delocalization, these works brings otherwise disparate processes into a single frame of view. And in a social climate evermore set on fragmentation and depersonalization, Rottenberg's work emphasizes whole persons and unique personalities." –Paul Kockelman

 

     Mika Rottenberg received her MFA from Columbia University in 2004. She lives and works in New York City. In 2005, her video installation Tropical Breeze was included in Greater New York at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. Mary's Cherries (video installation, 2004) was included in New Works/New Acquisitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York and Dough (Oslo version) was included in Uncertain States of America at the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo. Ms. Rottenberg's video installations are part of the Guggenheim Museum and The Museum of Modern Art collections, both in New York, as well as the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art in Oslo. This will be her first solo show in New York.

 

     Dough was realized with the help of Paul Ruest of The Argot Network.com with sound design and sound installation, Kartin Altecamp with special effects and Ann T. Rossetti with videography.

 

Special thanks goes to Ms. Julia Stoschek.

 

Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery is located at 526 West 26th Street, No. 213, in New York City. Gallery hours are from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, or by appointment. To find out more about this exhibition or to see more images, please email gallery@nicoleklagsbrun.com or call 212.243.3335.

Russell's Review

Big World Character Review

Intro into what Russell's Review will be about.

 

articles@largeincharge.com

 

What will Russell's Review be about?

     Ever wonder why there are no fat people in the matrix? What?... no one eats to much there.  Ever wonder why Movies are always funny at the expense of a bbw or a bhm?  Or why fat people in shows and movies are always caught eating chicken.

     Do you believe that society is unfair when it comes to big characters? How they are portrayed in video games, movies, shows, cartoons, etc.  Well I think so.

     Every month in Russell's Review I will review characters from video games, movies, shows, cartoons, Sitcoms, etc.   Is the Character a BIG PLUS or a BIG MINUS.  Do they help Big people look positive in the Size Acceptance movement or do they make Big people look like giant assholes?

     I'll point out the positive and the negative of the characters. As well as some hidden jokes that a normal person wouldn't catch. and if that character is mocking us or making the LargeInCharge look good.

     I want feedback from all of you. If there is a character you think I should review.  Send your recommendation in.  Let me know how you feel about my review and the characters I pick.

 

     See you next month when my first review comes out.  ~ Russell

Pictures of Big Metisse's Work

Note: This interview was translated from French to English.  The French Version of Big Metisse's Answers are included for those who want to read it in French.  View the Bottom of this page.

La note : Cet entretien a été traduit de français à l'anglais. La Version française de Big Metisse Réponses de est incluse pour ceux qui veut le lire en français. Regarder le Fond de cette page.

 

Jay of L.I.C.: State your name?

Big Metisse: My name is Cécile Quénum, my nickname on the internet is “BigMetisse”

Jay of L.I.C.: Where were you born?
 

Big Metisse: I was born in Brussels in Belgium. My mom’s Belgian and my dad (father) is benineese
(western Africa) Belgium is a small country in the heart of Europe lodged between France, Germany and The
Netherlands.

Jay of L.I.C.: Where were you raised?

 

Big Metisse: I was raised here in Brussels (which is the capital of Belgium) but I spent the 2 first years of my life in Africa, I still live in Belgium.

Jay of L.I.C.: Do you consider yourself have BBW?
 

Big Metisse: I’m rather SSBBW! I consider myself as such since I discovered the size-acceptance about 6
years ago.

Jay of L.I.C.: Were you big all your life, and was your size accepted by your family and friends?
 

Big Metisse: I’ve always been fat, I was an obese kid. I’m sociable and open-minded which means that my weight has never handicapped me in my social life. My being overweight has never been a problem for my real friends (the ones that are close to me) and they just saw it as an aspect of my person. They just accept me for what I am. Sometimes I feel that my surrounding is preoccupied by my health but I never felt rejected
nor my friends ashamed.

Jay of L.I.C.: When did you began photographing people?
 

Big Metisse: I started taking pictures at the age of 10 and my classmates were my favorite subjects. I’ve always been interested in people. Today, as a professional, I consider myself as a portrait photographer.

Jay of L.I.C.: And when/ why did you began photographing BBW'S/BHM'S?

 

Big Metisse: When I discovered the size-acceptance, I started looking at overweight people differently. To me, they looked beautiful and I wanted to make them pose in front of my camera. Oddly, it never occurred to me to focus on corpulent people photographically speaking and I never had any requests from an BBW nor an BHM at first. But now I have acquired great experience and I ‘m renowned in the French-speaking “size” and right now I have a lot of requests.

Jay of L.I.C.: Tell us why you love photography?
 

Big Metisse: Since I love people, my aim is to capture the beauty of each individual. What makes me very happy is when the models re-discover themselves on the pictures with an amazed look. BBW people are very sensitive and we have to keep in mind that that approach goes further than just getting a portrait done. I often means that they’re moving one step closer to the acceptation of their image. Many of the people that came in front of my camera enjoyed it very much and want to do it again. One of them even wrote me a letter saying that those pictures changed her life.

Jay of L.I.C.: How much time do you spend on one of your photo sessions?
 

Big Metisse: It depends… “Objectif size-up” is a concept I created. What I do is organize a “shooting-day” dedicated to fleshy women and my team counts 2 to 4 different photographers for each session, a hair-dresser, a makeup assistant and a clothes stylist as well as a planning team that dispatches tasks. I only have 30 minutes per model (I can shoot up to 10 models a day.) Each models sees 3 different photographers.
Sometimes I organize individual sessions. In that case, it takes 1 hour and 30 minutes plus makeup.

Jay of L.I.C.: Have you work with other BBW photographers or photographers who photograph BBW's?
 

Big Metisse: Yes and as I explained it before for “Objectif size-up”, I’m recruiting other photographers used to BBW. I’ve also created a brand new websitethat will be officially launched soon. It’ll replace the actual www.objectifsizeup.com and the purpose of that portal is to put BBW/BHM in relation with photographers looking for those models.

Jay of L.I.C.: If you had to pick 3 of photo shoots that you enjoyed most, which ones would you choose ?
 

Big Metisse: Anna: I’m very fond of that picture because I find it beautiful and sensual.

Jay of L.I.C.: When did your website develop?
 

Big Metisse: I’ve created my personal website to present my work in 1999 but “traces de lumière” which reflects my work exists since 2002.  I also have a specific website for “Objectif size-up.”

Jay of L.I.C.: Who designed your site?

Big Metisse: “Traces de lumière” was developed with a freeware (Coppermine Photo Gallery) that you can easily get free over the internet. “Objectif size-up” was entirely designed and developed by myself because I’m also webdeveloper (asp/php) and web designer.

Jay of L.I.C.: Tell us what "tracesdelumiere" means in English?

Big Metisse: Traces de lumière literally means Light Traces.  In ancient Greek, foto means light and grapho means I write.  So, photography is, in fact a trace left by the light.

Jay of L.I.C.: How often do you update your site with new pictures or models?
 

Big Metisse: My website is regularly updated and every model will appear on it if they agree of course.

Jay of L.I.C.: Do you link up with other sites? Which sites?
 

Big Metisse: I cultivate friendly relations and exchange banners with different websites from the French-speaking size community.

www.allegrofortissimo.com
www.pulpeclub.com
www.vivelesrondes.com
www.rondeetjolie.com

www.rondeetjolie.be

Jay of L.I.C.: Do you decide what clothing your models should wear? If not who does?
 

Big Metisse: It depends if it is a specific request or a personal work. When someone comes with a specific request I ask her to bring a couple of outfits I help her with accessories and we adapt makeup and lighting with what the model is looking for. When it comes to something more personal I impose everything to the model.

Jay of L.I.C.: Is there a huge BBW culture in your country?
 

Big Metisse: Yes but it’s much smaller than what exists in the U.S and also a bit different. In Europe, we’re not saying the being fat is beautiful and we’re not proud of it. Size-acceptance as it’s name explains it helps people to accept and recognize their body as it is and that has a citizen and a human being we have to fight against any discrimination (work, un-adapted medical supply for really overweight people…)

Jay of L.I.C.: Do they have any BBW events where your located?

Big Metisse: Yes, some websites such as www.rondeetjolie.com or members of  www.pulpeclub.com organize meeting parties.

Jay of L.I.C.: Have you ever been to a BBW event?
 

Big Metisse: Of course! I’ve been to size-parties in Paris (France) and Brussels among others.

Jay of L.I.C.: How do you like our LargeInCharge Magazine?
 

Big Metisse: I enjoy very much LARGEINCHARGE that I find amazingly interesting on American size. I found many useful tips (like for instance the article from RAQUI) because here as SSBBW, we’re not very well represented. As an SSBBW I meet problems that BBW are not familiar with such as chairs sturdiness in public spaces. I also discovered in your magazine that furnishing manufacturers were working on specifically designed chairs, beds …

Jay of L.I.C.: What can the readers at LargeInCharge do to help support your career?
 

Big Metisse: Simply visit my website and send me a little encouragement note. I really enjoy that and it makes me wanna keep doing what I do and above all, improve and… enlarge my horizons.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Où êtes-vous né ?

Big Metisse: Je m'appelle Cécile Quénum, mon pseudo habituel sur internet est "BigMetisse"

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Ou êtes-vous né ?

Big Metisse: Je suis née en Belgique, à Bruxelles, d'une maman belge et d'un papa
 Béninois (Afrique de l'ouest). La Belgique est un petit pays situé au coeur de l'europe entre la France, l'Allemagne et les Pays-bas.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Où avez-vous été élevé ?

Big Metisse: J'ai grandi ici à Bruxelles (qui la capitale de la Belgique) après avoir passé les 2 premières années de ma vie en Afrique, et je vis toujours à Bruxelles actuellement.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Vous considérerez-vous comme une BBW ?

Big Metisse: Je suis plutôt une SSBBW ! Depuis que j'ai découvert la size-acceptance, il y a 6 ans, je me considère en effet comme telle.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Avez-vous été grosse toute votre vie, et comment votre famille et vos amis ont accepté ce fait ?

Big Metisse: J'ai toujours été grosse, j'étais déjà une enfant obèse. Je suis une personne plutot sociable et ouverte, ce qui fait que mon poids ne m'a pas vraiment handicapé dans ma vie sociale. je compte de nombreux véritables amis pour qui mon excès de poids est juste une donnée de mon aspect physique, et qui m'acceptent très bien telle que je suis. Parfois mon entourage est préoccuppé par les problèmes de santé que suscitent mon enbonpoint, mais je n'ai jamais ressenti d'exclusion ou de gêne de la part de mes amis de tous horizons en ce qui concerne mon apparence physique pure et simple.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Quand avez-vous commencé à photographier des gens ?

Big Metisse: J'ai commencé à faire de la photo à l'âge de 10 ans, et mes camarades de classe étaient mes sujets de prédilection. Depuis toujours, ce sont les personne qui m'intéressent. Aujourd'hui photographe professionnelle diplomée, Je me considère avant tout comme portraitiste.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Quand et pourquoi avez-vous commencé à photographier des personnes rondes ?

Big Metisse: Lorsque j'ai découvert le monde de la size-acceptance,j'ai commencé à voir les personnes rondes avec un autre regard, à les trouver belles, et à avoir envie de les photographier. Curieusement, cela ne m'était jamais venu à l'esprit avant de m'intéresser, photographiquement de la part d'une bbw ou d'un bhm. Mais depuis j'ai acquis beaucoup d'expérience et une certaine renomée dans le milieux de la size francophone, ce qui fait que j'ai assez bien de demande.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Expliquez-nous pourquoi vous aimez la photo ?

Big Metisse: J'aime capturer la beauté qui existe en tout être. Mais ce qui me rend heureuse par dessus tout, c'est le regard émerveillé du modèle qui se redécouvre en photo. Les BBW sont dans ce cas tout particulièrement sensibles, car se faire photographier va souvent pour elles plus loin que le simple fait de vouloir un portrait. Il s'agit souvent d'une première démarche vers l'acceptation de son image. Beaucoup de personnes que j'ai photographiées pour la première fois y ont trouvé énormément de plaisir, et continuent à chercher des photographes pour réitérer l'expérience. L'une d'entre elle m'a même écrit pour me dire que ces photos avaient changé sa vie.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Combien de temps dure une session de photos ?

Big Metisse: Cela dépend... Avec "Objectif Size-up" un concept que j'organise régulièrement sous la forme d'une journée photo destinée aux rondes, je travaille avec 2 à 4 autres photographes différents à chaque session, des maquilleuses, coiffeuses, stylistes et toute une équipe d'accueil et de gestion de planning, je ne dispose que de 30 minutes par modèle  (j'en photographie 10 sur une même journée). Chaque personne passe chez 3 photographes. Mais avant le shooting proprement dit, les modèles sont maquillés et habillés par notre styliste si elles le souhaitent. En séance individuelle, je dispose généralement d'une heure et demie en plus du maquillage.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Avez-vous déjà travaillé avec d'autres photographes qui photographient les personnes rondes ?

Big Metisse: Oui comme je l'ai expliqué plus haut, pour Objectif Size-up, je recrute d'autres photographes habitués aux BBW. J'ai également créé un tout nouveau site portail qui sera lancé bientot lancé officiellement (et qui remplacera l'actuel site visible sur www.objectifsizeup.com dont le but est de mettre en rapport les BBW/BHM avec les photographes qui recherchent ce type de modèle.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Si vous deviez choisir 3 photos parmi vos préférées, lesquelles choisiriez-vous et pourquoi ?

Big Metisse: Anna Cette photo est vraiment mon coup de coeur, je la trouve esthétiquement belle et très sensuelle

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Quand avez-vous développé votre site internet ?

Big Metisse: J'ai créé mon premier site perso en 1999, mais "traces de lumière", qui est une vitrine de mon travail photographique, existe depuis 3 ans. J'ai aussi un site spécial pour Objectif size-up.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Qui a réalisé votre site ?

Big Metisse: Traces de lumière est fait à l'aide d'un logiciel libre (Coppermine Photo Gallery) que l'on peut se procurer gratuitement sur internet. Objectif size-up a été entièrement développé et designé par moi-même, car je suis aussi webdeveloper (asp/php) et webdesigner.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Que signifie "traces de lumière" en anglais ? 

Big Metisse: Heu Eve tu peux m'aider là ?? Je veux dire que la photographie est une trace laissée par la lumière sur un support sensible... d'ou le nom

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Quelle est la fréquence des mises à jour des photos de votre site ?

Big Metisse: Le site est mis à jour de façon irrégulière, chaque fois que j'ai de nouvelles photos que le modèle accepte de voir figurer sur monsite.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Echangez-vous des liens avec d'autres sites ?

 

Big Metisse: Lesquels ? Oui j'entretiens des liens amicaux et des échanges de bannières avec  différents sites de la "size" francophone, tels que
www.allegrofortissimo.com
www.pulpeclub.com
www.vivelesrondes.com
www.rondeetjolie.com

www.rondeetjolie.be  (special Belgique)

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Est-ce vous qui décidez des vêtements que doivent porter vos modèles ?

Big Metisse: Sinon qui le fait ? Cela dépend si la séance est une commande ou une recherche personnelle. Pour une commande, je demande à mes modèles d'apporter plusieurs tenues, et je met également des accessoires à leur disposition, et nous  adaptons le maquillage et l'éclairage en fonction de ce que le modèle souhaite obtenir comme ambiance. Pour une recherche personnelle, j'impose mes idées au modèle.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Y a t 'il une importante culture BBW dans votre pays ?

Big Metisse: Oui, mais l'ampleur du mouvement européen est très minime par rapport à ce que l'on peut trouver aux Etats-Unis, et ses voies sont un peu différentes. En europe, nous n'affirmons pas que gros c'est beau, nous n'affirmons pas de fierté d'être gros. La size-acceptance va plutot dans le sens d'accepter le corps que l'on a et surtout de se faire respecter en tant que citoyen a part entière, de lutter contre la discrimination à l'embauche par exemple, ou l'absence de materiel médical adapté à des personnes en très gros surpoids.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Y at'il des évènements destinés aux BBW dans votre pays ?

Big Metisse: Oui, certains sites comme ronde et jolie, ou des membres du pulpeclub organisent régulièrement des soirées ou des rencontres.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Avez-vous déjà fréquenté un évènement pour BBW ?

 

Big Metisse: Oui bien sûr ! J'ai fréquenté de nombreuses soirées "size" en France à Paris et à Bruxelles.

 

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Avez-vous déjà fréquenté un évènement pour BBW ?

 

Big Metisse: Oui bien sûr ! J'ai fréquenté de nombreuses soirées "size" en France à Paris et à Bruxelles.

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Que pensez-vous de notre magazine Large in Charge ?

 

Big Metisse: J'apprécie beaucoup LargeInCharge que je trouve intéressant et dans  lequel j'apprends énormément de choses sur la size américaine, et  j'y trouve également beaucoup de "trucs" qui me sont utiles en tant que SSBBW (par exemple cet été l'artice de Raqui avec des trucs pour rester au frais), car nous sommes assez peu représentées par ici. En tant que SSBBW je rencontre des problèmes que les BBW d'ici n'ont pas l'habitude de prendre en considération, comme par exemple la taille et la solidité des chaises dans les lieux publics. C'est aussi sur
LargeInCharge que j'ai découvert qu'il y avait aux états-unis des fabricants de meubles spécialement adaptés, etc. Je trouve cela très intéressant.

 

Jay de Largeincharge.com: Comment nos lecteurs peuvent-il soutenir votre carrière ?

 

Big Metisse: Simplement venir voir mon travail sur mon site et m'envoyer un petit message d'encouragement, cela me fait toujours très plaisir et me donne la pêche pour continuer.
