Mika Rottenberg’s films evoke one “WTF” and “LOL” after another, so many that I was literally bowled over and slipped off a bench in the darkened installation room of NoNoseKnows—head over heels for the artist’s dazzling, maximalist visuals. Spectacular sneezes, spinning sparkles, and oozing shapes are signature players in Mika Rottenberg’s oddly sensual video installations. We’ve enjoyed her past exhibitions in New York at PS1, Chicago’s MCA, and the ICA in Boston, and finally, her first West Coast survey was welcomed this year by The Contemporary Jewish Museum, an intimate gem of a space in San Francisco.
