Lonely Place

‘SLOW DANCE (Lonely Place)’ is a solo exhibition of a series of recent works by Katya Grokhovsky. Taking place at BUS Projects, ‘SLOW DANCE’ is a concept, a metaphor of our slow, or incredibly fast, intimate, often coupled and extremely human, dance to the grave. Developed for a participatory live performance in 2010, (during a relocation to the US) with a desire to connect to others and based around the idea of a simple couple dance or an old-fashioned mating ritual, ‘SLOW DANCE’ is an exploration of our simultaneous desire and fear of closeness, aging, loneliness and the ultimate distance between us. The exhibition is a combination of videos, found objects, drawings, photographs and an opening night and closing day participatory performance.
