Hrag Vartanian reviews Tamara Gonzales: Ometeoli at Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, New York, on view through February 11, 2017.

Vartanian writes: “Gonzales is known for incorporating visual culture that has traditionally been more associated with lived culture — lace, graffiti, embroidery, textiles — rather than the world of art galleries. … Her true subject matter is the material world. She has an indiscriminate appetite for cross-cultural pollination and distills the dissonance of contemporary life into these objects that can seem as jarring as they are soothing.”
