[What Is This Feeling] New work by Kristin Reeves


[What Is This Feeling]
New work by Kristin Reeves
Opening June 27 from 6-10pm
June 27 –July 19, 2014

[What Is This Feeling] processes the consequences of a desire to isolate where it hurts and what it is to be human. The work is inspired by my history as a pediatric research subject and a more resent experience handling dissected and dismembered cadavers at the end of their two-years of use. I retired and documented a series of experimental handmade 16mm film loops that had been at my service for the same duration. The stills are displayed through a network of x-ray viewers, embellished power strips and electrical cords. Also on display, a running film installation in the process of breakdown.
