Yevgeniya Kaganovich at the Ploch Art Gallery

Yevgeniya Kaganovich has created a site specific installation in the Ploch Art Gallery. The primary medium of this installation consists of sheets of latex that drapes from the ceilings, extends over the walls, and transforms the space. Kaganovich, in writing about her own work says, "inhabit/infest implies that the Center is more than an edifice for art and culture; it is a living organism that we too are a part of."

Words from Kaganovich's website: "inhabit/infest is an intervention into the unusual interior architecture of the Sharon Lynn Wilson Center for the Arts. The Center’s art gallery is carved out with rectilinear shapes and columns that are unconventionally interspersed with small nooks and alcoves. This site-specific installation connects its ceilings, walls and niches with a system of organic forms.  Here large and misshapen latex tubes, elongated and inflated volumes, originate from, project towards, and interweave with, the building’s irregular anatomy."

inhibit/infest will open this Friday and continue through Thursday, February 24, 2011.
Location: Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts, Ploch Art Gallery - Brookfield, WI
