COCOBUTTONS: Combination of installation, video projection and live  
performance.  Ari Tabei constructs a cocoon-shaped bag, cover its  
walls with numerous buttons connected with red thread. As shaman in a  
red dress, she performs her ritual play, being in and out of the  
cocoon-bag. Her wish is to connect her cocoon-shelter reality to the  
world by the magical power of buttons.

Ari Tabei was born and raised in Tokyo. Received MFA from University  
of Connecticut in sculpture and video performance art in May 2007.  
Participated in several residencies including: Chashama, Vermont  
Studio Center and LMCC Swing Space. Awarded the A.I.R. Gallery  
Fellowship for 2008-2009. Currently works with Smack Mellon Studio  
Program in Brooklyn, NY.
