Delightful Causalities at the Whitney Biennale 2008

As my hopes for something stimulating were starting to diminish I came across with Mika Rottenberg. Still from cheese wraps goats, hair, milk, and women in an installation that continues the dialog of women’s social position in the modern century. Inspired by a true story she portrays the life of six long haired women that use their hair to establish dominance in their goat farm. Further, their hair seems to have a surreal sensuality, as the wrap and caress it to stimulate the goats. They run around the goat farm. As they were trapped in a structure which sometimes goes out of control, but they know how to regain control fairly quickly.
