Zoé Blue M. “Hard Boiled” @ Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, NYC

For her first solo show at Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles-based artist (and Juxtapoz favorite and past featured artist) Zoé Blue M. transports viewers into the world of a takkyu onsen—her name for a table tennis bathhouse. The exhibition, titled Hard Boiled, highlights a style of bathhouse that fuses sport and relaxation within the Japanese tradition. Combining painting and installation, the show illustrates the intricate relationship between communal bathing and personal identity, particularly one that resonates with the complexities of contemporary femininity.
