Ryoo’s presentations, for instance, seem intentionally baroque and self-indulgent. They cleverly re-imagine older staples of the western art canon as food, a mere commodity. “Portrait (W.

When asked about the topic, she admits she hasn’t thought much about it since Bitch, and struggles to articulate her position through a slew of personal anecdotes and desultory political tangents...
