Left Behind
Opening Dec 13, 2013 at 06:00 pm
Start date Dec 13, 2013

INVISIBLE-EXPORTS is pleased to present Left Behind, with a special guest performance featuring Marina Abramović as the Grim Reaper, the third solo exhibition of new work by Lisa Kirk. Lisa Kirk is a multimedia artist working as a visual and critical renegade – re-appropriating, restaging and re-contextualizing imagery, artifacts, and colloquial idioms from a political and social culture built on paradox and contradiction. The contextual foundation from which Kirk builds her work is suffused with power structures, which are themselves laced throughout with collective doubt and institutional suspicion. In Left Behind, an exhibition of works on paper, sculpture, custom therapeutic elixirs, and installation, Kirk delivers work saturated with our ubiquitous cultural fear of a near-future of near-ruin. Her works on paper depict a petrified rainbow, rusted in a state of imprecise oxidation, a simple geometry ravaged from environmental effects, and an abstraction that suggests the half-life afterlife of eroding abandoned steel – the degradation of environment and atmosphere, at once physical, imagined, and portentous. With her sculptures, rusted-over broken umbrellas abandoned in a storm, she transforms everyday detritus into disaster artifact. As a final component, starting on January 25 at 13 o’clock, there will be a special 24-hour durational performance featuring Marina Abramović as the Grim Reaper.
