GARAGE DOOR VIDEO SERIES:
Luiza Kurzyna
I Pain/t, Pain/t Me, P/aint In
Approaching her creative work as a form of play, Luiza Kurzyna’s videos are an attempt to suffuse her experience of the world with fantasy and humor. In her video series, Kurzyna explores the relationship between the artist and her work: through the roles of observer, subject, participant, and creator. In I Pain/t, Kurzyna mimics the emotionality of her drawings, despite the physical separation between the artist’s world and that of the image. Pain/t Me shows Kurzyna acting upon her desire to inhabit the drawing and to be its subject, while P/aint In shows the final merging between her myriad perceptions of self, all in front of a cartoon landscape.
Luiza Kurzyna’s work has been shown at Glasslands Gallery and Streb Warehouse, both in Brooklyn; Denise Bibro Gallery, NY; Artspace, New Haven, CT; and the New Britain Museum of American Art, CT. She has received residencies and fellowships at BRIC House, Brooklyn; I-Park Foundation, East Haddam, CT; and Ox-Bow, Saugatuck, MI. She earned her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL, and her MFA from Brooklyn College, NY.
Luiza Kurtzyana is a 2017-18 recipient of the ArtFP, an open call for Brooklyn-based visual artists to exhibit at BRIC House. For more information, visit BRICartsmedia.org/ArtFP
While exhibitions are under installation, BRIC House closes its gallery “garage” doors and uses them as screens for this video series. The series highlights contemporary video artists in either single- or three channel projections that are looped from 10am-6pm and can be enjoyed while sitting on the BRIC Stoop and cafe.
