Katya Kan 出生于哈萨克斯坦的阿拉木图,父亲是朝鲜人,母亲是俄罗斯人,是全球化的一个特例。在瞥见前苏联之后,她对政治和文化体系有一种怀旧、矛盾的看法:
“我无法完全融入任何一种文化,我发现自己作为一个局外人,具有折衷的艺术品味。艺术代表着追求、组装和永生美的行为。通过我的艺术实践,我再现了童年时期经历的灵感和解放状态。我的作品力求捕捉短暂的印象。我在作品中探讨的概念包括全球化、监视、怀旧、乌托邦和色情。最近,我参加了当代艺术研究所(ICA)的展览,269年在伦敦梅菲尔的波多贝罗的缪斯博物馆和赫里克美术馆,以及纽约无题空间和美国的纽约艺术博览会。
从12月8日星期六下午12点到4点,将开始Katya Kan在Bermondsey空间项目的圣诞前放映(地址:183-185 Bermondsey St,伦敦SE1 3UW,英国)。
她的作品也将于下周日下午6点至9点在布鲁内尔博物馆(布鲁内尔博物馆,铁路大道,伦敦,英国)进行展出。
An idiosyncratic specimen of globalization, Kan was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, to a North Korean father and a Russian mother. Having caught a glimpse of the ex-USSR, she has a nostalgic, conflicting perception of political and cultural systems:
“Unable to fully assimilate into any one culture, I find myself as an outsider with an eclectic artistic taste. Art represents the act of seeking, assembling and immortalizing beauty. Through my artistic practice, I recreate the state of inspiration and emancipation, experienced during my childhood. My works strive to capture the ephemeral impressions. The concepts, which I explore in my work, include the globalization, surveillance, nostalgia, utopia and eroticism. Most recently, I was involved in exhibitions with the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA), the Muse at 269 in Portobello and Herrick Gallery in Mayfair, London as well as the NYC Untitled Space and the New York Art Expo in the US.”
