Perpetually pink-clad and in search of a Wi-Fi connection, Ambivalently Yours explores ambivalence – simultaneously loving and hating – through the online sharing of pink illustrations, short animations, questionable advice, sound sketches, blog posts and anonymous notes left in public spaces. Her work has been exhibited in North America, Europe and Australia, shared virally on the Internet and featured prominently in online media publications, teenage blogs and zines worldwide.
This exhibition aims to showcase the physical human layer that is often overlooked when one experiences the work of Ambivalently Yours online. Most of her drawings have never been publicly exhibited, but their digital equivalents have received enthusiastic attention on social media. As the title implies, the work has never been seen ; yet they’re also a little déjà vu, as seen on Tumblr. The installation will showcase the fragmented frenzy of the Internet next to the affect and physicality of real space. This interaction between an online platform and the gallery will question and celebrate the use of mainstream media practices within a contemporary art context.
