Pipilotti Brings Big Heartedness

September 9, 2021 Patricia Zohn

Hold on tight! Pipilotti Rist: Big Heartedness, Be My Neighbor is (a bit belatedly but so what) arriving in LA. Perfect timing I’d say. Not your much more chaste MoMA show of a few years back. This MOCA/Geffen Contemporary joyride is the non-Van Gogh immersive experience a/k/a the real show-stopping funkadelic- psychedelic deal. Also not quite the Mr Rogers hood. The Geffen couldn’t be better, the installs of videos, supersized furniture, domesticity-gone-wild in an ideal setting. Here’s Pippi herself at the check in to her version of home- the very space we need right now to get out of our own cocoon to hers -a dizzying dissolution of boundaries. She’s seeking “the semi private semi public spaces, the weeds and cracks” according to curator Anna Katz. MOCA has been in a very tough place with its directors and curators coming and going but let’s give them a cheer for bringing Pipilotti and a grin.
