“Theater of the Mundane”, is a site-specific multi-media performative installation by Katya Grokhovsky, presented at chashama space to present at 273 Bleecker st New York, NY, which explores the absurdity of the human condition through sculpture, assemblage, painting, video and performance.
Examining society’s brutally intoxicating consumerism and overwhelmingly unbridled desire for material possessions, as a symptom of extreme alienation and isolation, “Theater of the Mundane” deconstructs and devours the artist’s own past artworks, metabolizing it’s parts, intending to highlight eternal human longing for connection, festering behind and underneath the polite facade of shopping malls, industrial debris and digital worlds.
