Stanya Kahn: It’s Cool, I’m Good: videos on humor, trauma and faking it ’til it’s real
@ Gallery 400
400 S Peoria St, Chicago, IL 60607
Opening Wednesday, February 9th, at 5PM
As a videomaker, performer, and writer, Stanya Kahn combines storytelling with visceral performances, blurring the lines between fiction and reality to show how trauma can reconfigure language and the way we make meaning, thus giving rise to new forms of articulation. Kahn mixes humor and horror, blending beauty and banality to approach the alienation and violence of contemporary American life in her most recent, solo works Kathy, Sandra, and It’s Cool, I’m Good (2010).
