Multimedia artist Aaron Garber-Maikovska (b. 1978) works across painting, drawing, performance, and video—interconnected modes of communicating a vernacular of somatic expression. The works on Coroplast featured in Cushion of Air, produced between 2017 and 2023, are corporeal articulations yielded from a mantra-like exercise in muscle memory, an attempt to carve out a space for creative freedom amid the social engineering and spatial division of the postmodern world.
This first monograph of the Los Angeles–based artist’s work features over 150 plates, video stills, images from Garber-Maikovska’s research and daily life, and includes an essay by Cathleen Chaffee on performance and the body, an essay by Jan Tumlir exploring depth and delight in his paintings, and an interview between the artist and Orit Gat in an immersive exploration of his multifaceted practice.
