Mandarin is pleased to present Psycho, work by Dorit Cypis from 1983-1995, to coincide with the opening of WACK, Feminist art practice 1965-1980 at MOCA. Dorit Cypis’ work Sightlines, was most recently seen at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Consider
This...exhibition. Cypis will be showing her new series Stranded Subjects (weekends),this May at the COLA Artist Fellowship exhibit at Barnsdall Park, and at the symposium Political Theology, University of California, Irvine, during summer 2007.

The formative years of Dorit Cypis’ education as an artist were at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design 1972-75, and at the California Institute of the Arts 1975-77, informed equally by feminism and conceptual art. Her early work mined identity as relational and inter-subjective and in relation to questions of representation. In this
exhibition, we have chosen a selection of her photographs created during that time.
