Katja Larsson's (Studio 5-227) solo exhibition Myth / Machine opened on 17 March at Aicon Contemporary New York and continues until 23 April.

Katja's fascination with mythology and ancient lore emerges in her sculptural practice, which centres on 21st-century objects branded after classical heroes and deities. Everyday items such as the truck tire Hercules All Trac and the MC helmet Icarus 10.7 are reconsidered in relation to their given names and transformed to resemble classical sculptures through the use of bronze, eco-resin, and stone.
