The weekend of September 29-30 marks the final days of Theater of the Mundane : a site-specific multi-media installation by Katya Grokhovsky presented at chashama space to present, 273 Bleecker Street in Manhattan. Known for her evocative installation, performance and video works, Grokhovsky collapses her kaleidoscopic practice into this survey of her work, exploring the absurdity of the human condition through sculpture, assemblage, collage, video and
performance.
Examining society’s brutally intoxicating consumerism and insatiable desire for material goods, Grokhovsky examines the broken dreams and isolation that these objects sustain. Echoing rampant consumerism itself, and the posession of myriad discarded objects, Theater of the Mundane deconstructs and devours the artist’s own past artworks and highlights the eternal human longing for connection. Hosted by chashama at the cavernous 273 Bleecker street space, Theater of the Mundane offers an immersive experience traversing sculpture, performance and new media.
The exhibit is on view from Sept 14th-30th, Tue-Sun from 12-6pm with a closing reception: Sunday 30th September 2018, 6-9 pm and is free and open to the public.
