Libby Rothfeld

November 14 - December 19, 2015

Opening reception November 14th, 7 to 9PM

At what precise moment... ...does an individual stop being who he thinks he is? You know, I don't like complications. Cut off my arm. I say, "Me and my arm." You cut off my other arm. I say, "Me and my two arms." You...take out... ...take out my stomach, my kidneys, assuming that were possible... And I say, "Me and my intestines." Follow me? And now, if you cut off my head... ...would I say, "Me and my head" or "Me and my body"? What right has my head to call itself me?
Libby Rothfeld lives and works in Queens, New York.
