Addie Wagenknecht examines visibility with tools of culturally defined “feminine” gestures. In her latest series of paintings, a Roomba is reconfigured to spread a lush mixture of cosmetic pigments, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, and skin care across canvas by way of a programmed algorithm. The resulting composition is seductively abstract, usurping the intrinsic role of the materials. Through this act, the artist reclaims visibility with devices typically used to conceal.
