"Unrequited Love" is a sculptural installation by Zoe Kuhn, Natasha Romano and Stevie Southard dealing with the object--personified. Included are selected works that formally implicate a sculpture's ability to possess personality, a quality existing in the realm of the non object. The personified objects of "Unrequited Love" consider the architecture of the gallery space to visually elaborate on correlations between desire, rejection, and missed opportunities. These correlations attributed to the experience of an unrequited love cannot be formed without the gaze of a viewer, for what is life without someone to love?
“Unrequited Love” is on view at the following times:
4/27 ---> Comic Liberation (9-11pm)
Ongoing - projections/performances on view from the street 2/25 - 2/30
EXHIBITION PARTAY ---> 4/30 @ 8pm (be there or be square)
ARTIST BIOS:
Natasha Romano mainly works in sculpture, video, and performance. She uses paranoia and humor to create formal systems of logic to forge connections between materials and personified forms. These systems and connections suggest narratives and truths that have the possibility, but not always the potential, to exist. Her practice questions the benefit of discerning the real and the hyper real.
Stevie Southard utilizes performance, video, and installation primarily in her work, but is not restricted to these mediums. Struggling relationships many times become the source of concept, whether these relationships involve a family member, a lover, a space, an institution or a system. Because of the personal quality of these relationships, the work is often embedded with intimacy and wants to immerse its viewer. Repetition is often used to further the immersive quality, whether it is repetition of a material or an action. Immersion and repetition work to further disintegrate the image of the struggling relationship, and other times works to disappear the artist herself.
Zoe Kuhn uses her body, sculptural objects, and video to communicate the struggles of being human within public versus private space. She creates her own systems that mirror labor systems and social constructs within society. The sculptural objects used within her work aid in furthering ideas on how institutional, architectural structures can control space and physically affect the body. Video allows her work to overcome the limitations of the physical world and create illusions and solutions in reaction to the limitations of time and space. Her practice is driven by her dreams of creating a world with more options.
