Kerstin Honeit
@ Gallery 400
400 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Thursday, January 20th, at 5PM
German artist Kerstin Honeit investigates familial legacy, gender construction, and identity formation in her photographic and video works. Her exhibition at Gallery 400 is her first solo show in the United States. In the photographic series Becoming 10, Honeit assumes the identities of nine half-siblings she has never met. Honeit’s video installation On & Off is a further exploration of familial connection and dislocation in which the artist lip-synchs four women’s accounts of their father’s funerals. A second video installation, Position #1, considers women’s occupation of public space.
