ABOUT
Baik Art presents Migraine Cabin, a solo exhibition of three-dimensional work by Los Angeles based artist Marco Rios whose artwork points to the artist as a prisoner of the mind.
The exhibition will consist of an installation that fills the gallery space with a continuous 10-foot high wall surrounding a solitary enclosure. Along with several smaller objects that will also be presented, the enclosure, which replicates an accurate jail cell, personalizes the artist’s perceptual complexity and anxiety-riddled impulses toward events in daily life. The installation serves as a springboard for Rios’ ongoing commentary on being a twenty-first century artist imprisoned by anxiety and vulnerability
