Kyllä Kyllä
Opening Reception: March 9th, 6-9pm
March 9 – April 6, 2012
PANEPINTO GALLERIES is pleased to present Kyllä Kyllä, a two-person exhibition by artists Trevor Amery and Kathryn Zazenski. While employing vastly different mediums for their artistic output, both parties are interested in the notion of space and how our inhabitance of said structures contributes to or detracts from our understanding of the world and, by proxy, human nature. As Amery writes, “A range of experiences, both locally and abroad, have forced me to confront my ideas about the meaning of home and personal space and investigate their relative permanence. I am looking to explore how people move through and inhabit space, how spaces promote interaction or create separation and why certain rituals become paramount in our lives.”
For Kyllä Kyllä, Amery has created two site-specific installations: a wooden sauna, reminiscent of those he encountered during a residency at the Arteles Creative Center in Finland last year, and an architectural wall intervention based on the idea of location and transition. Alternately, Zazenski, whose complex approach to formal communicative structures has led her to working with maps and invented linguistic systems, has created a suite of drawings specifically for the exhibition. Delicately rendered in graphite on paper, these minimalist diagrams offer a poetic meditation on the “people, sounds, distances, and recalled memories” that, according to the artist, are among the information she systematically records as a way of relating to people and place. “By applying new parameters to existing systems such as language and classification methods,” Zazenski writes, “I investigate the role of emotion and the masked mutability that exists within these constructs.” Also on view are sculpture and video by the two artists.
Curated by Kara L. Rooney, Kyllä Kyllä is the first of a series of scheduled exhibitions on view at PANEPINTO GALLERIES.
Gallery hours for the show are March 9th and April 6th from 6-9pm and by appointment.
