Kim Miskowicz: FormationPost an Event »
Krowswork is pleased to announce Formation, a solo exhibition of the work of Kim Miskowicz. In this exhibition Miskowicz melds two distinct impulses of her artistic output—painting and video—into bespoke works that bring these mediums together as a single piece.
Much of Miskowicz’s painting and video reference the landscape, mapping, and notions of a disrupted environment. In this exhibition, she elegantly projects videos onto paintings creating her own three-dimensional atlas of flickering place. The paintings are constructed in relief, either out of built-up paint or, ingeniously, using postage label remnants to create literal hills, mountains, and plains. Onto each of these surfaces, she projects a video made specifically for each painting, which complements but also complicates (and even competes with) the painted landscapes. Even as the video produces its own brightness, shadow, and image, its directed light also becomes a stand-in for our own sense of vision and what it means to move through time and space, as if driving at night down a desolate road or hiking into a vast, empty canyon. With these thoughtful works, Miskowicz engenders a shared sense of discovery, invoking ideas of distance and desire.
