SUMMARY:I'm calling from a great distance
DESCRIPTION:A Solo Exhibition by Alex Kostiw\nI’m calling from a great distance\, through a variety of miniature and postcard-sized prints\, large-scale artworks\, and an artist’s book of indecipherable texts\, relates the communications between a lighthouse keeper and an interplanetary explorer. The work explores the tension between physical distance and the closeness that technology can create; memory; and the scale of humanity. The prints are divided into two series. One details a sequence of a woman turning around. The other depicts planets and abstracted landscapes. The gallery becomes as a space for this two-part story to unfold. \nDuring recent travel\, Kostiw’s interest in immeasurable spaces shifted from metaphorical interior or mental spaces to physical ones. She was drawn to parallels between explorers in history who crossed oceans and the speculative exploration of other planets. She finds intrigue in the gut-wrenching contrast in size between the ocean or space and the individual\, as well as in exploration as an expression of\, and cause for\, longing. \nThroughout her practice\, Kostiw’s interest is as much in what a story presents as in what it does not—in what is not said or done\, as in what is. Oceans and outer space are settings that sharply highlight the inconsequentiality of humankind\, but also our need for intimacy and our yearning for connection at the heart of the story. \nI’m calling from a great distance will kick-off with a Gallery Talk with Alex Kostiw at 6:00 p.m. on April 7th\, followed by the Opening Reception. \nI’m calling from a great distance is the last of three Residency Exhibitions\, a series of solo exhibitions that feature the 2016 Spudnik Press Resident Artists and the new work they each produced through the Spudnik Press Residency Program.
