Exhibition: August 1 - September

Opening Reception: First Friday Gallery Walk, August 1, 6-10pm
Artspace’s 2008 Summer Artist-In-Residence Eileen
Doktorski spent the month of July in Artspace’s Gallery 1 creating
new work for her exhibition, Oblivion. This installation is an
expansion on Doktorski’s recent work Deluge, which was
exhibited at the Rio Gallery of the Utah Arts Council in December. The
mixed media installation was inspired by the aftermath of Katrina and
other natural disasters, as well as by other emotionally traumatic events
more personal to Doktorski. While Deluge referenced more of a
personalm isolated human struggle, her new installation at Artspace focuses
on the relationship between a parent and a child and addresses issues
of material consumption and disconnection with nature.
The installation is comprised of cast figures and found objects. Through
this installation Doktorski aims to explore the struggle suffered from
displacement and abrupt life changes. Doktorski’s completed installation
will open with a First Friday Gallery Walk on August 1, 6 -10pm.
