Vlatka Horvat "Or Some Other Time"
The Kitchen
This event has ended.
In her videos, photography, performances, and works on paper, New York-based artist Vlatka Horvat has explored absence, memory, and concealment by juxtaposing the component parts of a given system, such as the human body, against the backdrop of the world at large. For her first US solo exhibition, Horvat creates an uncanny environment of projected images, modified found objects, and architectural “propositions” in which the body and the space it occupies are presented as a sites of delusion, collapse, and fragmentation while still offering an alternative model for reinvention, resistance, and play. In addition, Horvat presents a new live performance, in which she stages a miniaturized action with a small ensemble of performers and live video. Drawing on a vocabulary of everyday gestures, the piece uses restrictive self-imposed structures to create an unexpected encounter between performers and audience. Curated by Matthew Lyons.
