Eva Redamonti: What Happens at Night
Feb. 11 - Feb 27
Opening Reception: Saturday, Feb. 13th , 2 — 4 PM *
Comprising hand-made ink drawings, a site installation and and a series of animated shorts, “What Happens at Night” offers performative imagery and auditory accompaniment that references Eva Redamonti’s childhood growing up in a suburban New England town. The show reflects on the power of belongings in a haunted home, the feeling of isolation and paranoia amidst mundane landscapes, and the dialogue from self to self that comes with spending many hours alone. This exhibition will showcase Redamonti’s journey in the arts from the visual to the auditory, and aims to show how these sensory stimulants interact with one another. Through repeating visual motifs and experimenting with different line weights, the artist’s drawings explore narrative and visual depth by layering scenes one on top of the other in non-conventional ways which in turn signals the viewer a multitude of options for navigating around the work.
The exhibition will be presented across two rooms; the first will display 15 drawings pieces hung over a vinyl mural that will stretch the length of the gallery walls. The second room will play 5 animations presented as moving interpretations of the above noted drawings.
