Sex Machine

Кёльн, Музей Людвиг, 2011 год. The central new piece of the LAZY SUSAN SERIES, AMATEUR DRAMATICS (2010), was coproduced by the participating institutions and takes the form of the eponymous Lazy Susan: a large rotating disc that looks like a mix between carousel and presentation platform. The artist placed various previously created works from her repertoire on the disc, including the PURPLE SLOTH RABBIT (2010) a large reclining rabbit figure with the word SLOTH embroidered underneath its feet. With irony and provocation, Cosima von Bonin thus makes laziness simultaneously a vice and a dream in todays times in which every minute counts the leitmotif of an exhibition cycle that has more to do with manic production and hyperactivity than with idleness and indolence.
