“Jade Guanaro Kuriki-Olivo, widely known by the moniker Puppies Puppies, expands ideas around the readymade by imbuing ubiquitous and everyday objects, signifiers, and actions with a personal and political charge. She has, for example, reconfigured antibacterial gel dispensers, toilet bowl liquid, the color green, as well as the acts of sleeping, peeing, and taking a pill in installations and performances that challenge ableist frameworks of artistic and capitalist production. Many of Puppies Puppies’s exhibitions have also included actionable components: a GoFundMe campaign to support a friend’s transition fund, free HIV testing and counseling, and a working shower available for use by the public. Kuriki-Olivo thus asserts that life can be viewed as its own form of endurance practice, especially for those whose very survival is at stake, including trans, nonbinary, and gender-nonconforming people of color.” (Vivian Crockett, New Museum Curator). Her intervention at BAAB involves the creation of a public campaign, made of billboards, t-shirts, posters and murales, explicitly evoking the work of Félix González-Torres (considered a reference point for an emotional conceptualism), transitioning it into the present and relating it to the theme of trans rights. In the works on exhibition, images and texts show a complex balance between intimate and public life, individual biography and collective history, private time and global dynamics, conveying profound reflections on the contradictions of our time.
