Abstract

The article focuses on Canadian artist Karice Mitchell's solo exhibition, "economy of pleasure," held at Silke Linder in New York City. The exhibition features works that appropriate and transform images from early 2000s softcore pornography, emphasizing individual body language while removing explicit sexual content. Through her art, Mitchell explores themes of erotic agency and autonomy, inviting viewers to engage with the complexities of beauty and intimacy. The exhibition is noted for its subtle visual and textual cues that challenge contemporary perceptions of sexuality and pleasure, contrasting the often superficial nature of modern pornography.
