Note from the Artist: This piece is about dance in the age of technology. During this year of the pandemic, when we were isolated from others , we have mostly viewed dancing staged on our social media. This piece speaks to the web of platforms (like Tik Tok) that like a spider trap and capture our experiences of engagement in practices like dancing.
Bio: Toby has a BFA from Cooper Union and an MFA from the University of Michigan. Toby is of Thai-American descent and his work draws on themes of hybridity, the sacred, and materiality. He explores these themes in several exhibitions, including most recently 2017’s Volta (Armory Week, NY) “The Pull of Things,” a mixed media display of sensual triggers; 2016’s “Body Electric” (Locust Projects, Miami) where he re-examined the notion of “body as temple”; and 2014’s “Altared States” (Yellow Peril, Providence RI), a mixed-media installation/simulation of South East Asian altars inspired by the use of found objects to create personal altars in restaurants, roadsides, bus stops, and other public spaces from India to Ecuador.
