Blood Tea and Red String Screening and Artist Talk on July 13th at 8pm
Cottonflesh Sacrifice is a multimedia collection of artwork by 2019 John Simon Guggenheim Fellow and San Francisco Art Institute alumna Christiane Cegavske. The show features an immersive installation that includes Cegavske's stop-motion animated projections, life-sized dolls, and a musical soundscape by Karie Jacobson and Drew Kowalski of the Dagons.
Cegavske burst upon the world stage with her first feature film, Blood Tea and Red String, an award-winning, critically acclaimed cult film with a passionate international fan base. "A David Lynchean fever dream on Beatrix Potter terrain...close in macabre spirit to the original versions of many classic fables" (Variety). "As much a work of sculpture as of cinema" (The New York Times). "An animal fable both dark and explicitly feminist in its mission....so original and made with such clear passion that it almost takes you a moment to catch your breath" (Fangoria).
This new collection of artworks invites you to enter Cegavske's dreamlike world of imagery evoking feminine archetypes, fantastical creatures, dolls and fairy tales, birth and death. Rendered in a dazzling variety of mediums, the work allows the viewer to experience the impact of the symbolic language on multiple levels as they are immersed in this unique universe.
In Cottonflesh Sacrifice Cegavske's large-scale sculptures echo her stop-motion film world. The installation features five gutted rag dolls hanging from nine-foot-high power poles that surround a stone well. Those who enter are surrounded by a cloud of otherworldly siren song. Jacobson created an otherworldly effect with the feeling of a supernatural language by singing backwards vocal tracks made up of phrases in twelve languages. These ethereal backwards voices entwine with sounds created by Drew Kowalski that evoke the buzzing and hum of power poles and wires in an urban environment.
Cegavske will share clips from her current film project Seed in the Sand during the Artist Talk on July 13th. The Sound Design Panel on July 10th includes: L7's Suzi Gardner who voices the Antlered Ones, Karie Jacobson the film's composer and voice of the Nest Dwellers and the dolls, and Drew Kowalski who is creating the score and recording the film's audio.
