Shana Moulton: Picture Puzzle Pattern Door

Description

New York-based artist Shana Moulton works in video, performance, and installation. Her practice investigates the relationship between American consumer culture and the New Age movement, highlighting consumerism’s influence on wellness and spiritual fulfillment. In her videos and performances, the artist always plays Cynthia, a mute character inhabiting highly artificial environments, who seeks spiritual enlightenment, physical comfort, and healing through her ritualistic interaction with various mass-produced items. At YBCA, Moulton presents a multimedia installation featuring Cynthia’s humorous, playful, and sometimes painful world where kitsch, mysticism, pop culture, and spirituality collide.

Opening Reception!
Join us for the opening reception, which will coincide with our monthly Third Thursday event, ConVerge! In addition to free admission to YBCA’s galleries, ConVerge presents an evening of performance and music with Shana Moulton and friends. New York-based mobile television studio E.S.P TV will shoot a live taping in the Grand Lobby, featuring a performance piece by Shana Moulton and Nick Hallett, as well as an ambient music set by sound healer Karma Moffett. Performances will be interspersed with a video program featuring Sabrina Ratté, Jeremy Couillard, Jeremy Rotsztain, and Peter Burr.
