Mitra Saboury and Derek Paul Boyle
Alter Space presents Can’t Fix Broken, new work by Mitra Saboury and Derek Paul Boyle. Can’t Fix Broken suggests points of theatricality in the ordinary. Living and exposing the comforts and exhaustion of routine, Saboury and Boyle present a series of works set against the scene of their relationship, as objects become characters and the habitat forms a stage.
Mitra Saboury received her MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London, and her BS from the University of Pittsburgh. Solo exhibitions include: Gut House, Chins Push, Los Angeles (2016) and Touch Everything, Smart Objects, Los Angeles (2015).
