"Autonomy" by Chella Man
Chella Man • • •’s multidisciplinary practice draws from their lived experience as a Deaf, transmasculine, genderqueer, and Chinese and Jewish American.
“Autonomy” is the artist's most ambitious performance and installation to date, providing an intimate encounter with a clone of their nude body bathed in warm golden-hour light. In a performance co-presented by the Jewish Museum and Performance Space New York on May 2, 2024, Man painstakingly and lovingly recreated the scars and tattoos that grace their body on the silicone clone, memorializing their long journey of gender transition and exercising autonomy over their own body. The result of this performance is presented in installation form in our current exhibition “Overflow, Afterglow: New Work in Chromatic Figuration.”
“Autonomy” does not center trauma, struggle, discrimination, or exclusion (though not for lack of such experiences), and instead foregrounds resilience, remembrance, curiosity, and care—for the self, for others, for family, and chosen families. Man emphasizes joy and rest as defenses against the unsettling backdrop of gender politics in the U.S. and beyond, presenting their body cradled by the afterglow of transformation.

Fabrication of Frederick Kiesler's Mobile Home Library
Watch the fabrication of Frederick Kiesler’s previously unrealized Mobile Home Library, which is now on view in the exhibition “Frederick Kiesler: Vision Machines,” closing on July 28.
The Mobile Home Library proposed to improve basic domestic activities, while also radically altering domestic space. In its most iconic form, this dynamic device appears as a circular series of bookshelves; the entire piece is ambulatory, with each module also designed to spin within the Library’s ring frame. 🌀📚

Kiesler's Mobile Home Library
For the first time ever, Frederick Kiesler’s previously unrealized Mobile Home Library has been fabricated especially for the exhibition, “Frederick Kiesler: Vision Machines.” 📚
Kiesler chose the common bookshelf as the first test of his Laboratory of Design Correlation at Columbia University. The lab’s primary assignment was to analyze and update an everyday object whose design was generally seen as satisfactory. Based on studies of body movement, fatigue, and respiration, the Mobile Home Library emerged as a rotating, spinning, physical, and informational assembly. The outer ring could be wheeled around the home, and individual units could spin to accommodate different body postures and degrees of effort. Gripping surfaces held books in place and accommodated a variety of other documents, magazines, and reading material of varying sizes and formats.
The prototypes were made of stainless steel, aluminum, and hardwood shelves, while this version consists of powder-coated metal, milled acrylic shelves, and 3-D–printed parts. The intricate details of flaps, angles, and hinges, as well as the structure and dimensions, faithfully reflect the original design.
