SUMMARY
Known Studio is pleased to present Look At Me, a mixed-media exhibition featuring new works by Los Angeles-based artists Rosie Clements and Alexander Kaye. Opening July 18, the exhibition explores themes of perception, identity, and performance in a digital age where the line between public and private selves grows increasingly blurred.
Working across photography, sculpture, and installation, Clements and Kaye use materials that both reveal and obscure—inviting viewers to consider the ways we curate our image and manage our visibility. Drawing on Jean-Paul Sartre’s concept of “The Look,” the show confronts the destabilizing experience of being seen, while reflecting on the instinct to shield one’s most vulnerable self.
Through bubble-wrapped prints and freestanding sculptural works, the artists present objects that feel both intimate and guarded. The resulting atmosphere is one of tension—between exposure and concealment, control and surrender.
ARTISTS
Rosie Clements (b. 1990) works in photography, sculpture, and print. Across all mediums, her practice is fundamentally image-based. In her recent work, she makes digital photographs and reconstitutes them as physical objects, testing the ever-blurring boundaries between the material and the virtual.
Alexander Kaye (b. 1989) is an artist, designer and fabricator known for their object-focused creations that delve into both conceptual and aesthetic themes. Born in Southeast Michigan in 1989 to a blue-collar family, they soon veered towards a life of art and creativity ultimately graduating with a degree in Fine Arts in Detroit Michigan, 2003. As a multidisciplinary artist their focus of work includes experimental object artworks, sculpture, light art, sound art, conceptual art, and anything else that becomes a point of creative interest along the way. As a neurodivergent person with ADHD, their creative and experiential moments of hyper-focus over the years have culminated into an artistic ethos and style that is greater than the sum of its parts, and expansive in its intention and scope. Their work seeks to introduce joy and intrigue to viewers through presentation of captivating aesthetic elements while simultaneously exploring conceptual and metaphorical themes involving institutional-critique (in both capitalist and societal structures), class struggle, active cultivation of joy and peace, and environmentally-conscious practices within the intellectual-framework of the art itself
