Insides
An installation by Kate Stone
Sept 30 - Oct 21, 2020
10am - 10pm daily
601Artspace, 88 Eldridge Street
Insides is part of 601Artspace’s Storefront Exhibition series, which features site-specific installations that use only the exterior facade of our gallery space, and are designed to be viewed from the outside.
Save the date:
The artist will be hosting a socially-distanced sidewalk chat with visitors on Saturday, Oct 3rd from 1-4pm
Artist’s statement:
“Insides combines cut-paper, stop-motion with hand-drawn animation to tell a disjointed story about self-isolation and neurosis, inspired by my experience in quarantine. The animation takes place in a single room. Curtains blow in the wind, doorways appear and disappear. A ceiling fan, a houseplant, internal organs and a broken sculpture engage in a looping dance. The looping mimics the repetition of daily life, implying that the absent protagonist (or the viewer) is trapped in a loop. Meanwhile, outside creeps inward and inside bleeds outward. The animation explores what happens in the intersection of comfort and fear, reality and fantasy and interior and exterior, both of the body and the architecture of home. "Insides" is a restless daydream peppered with pandemic anxiety.”
