Collaboration between Katrina Garvey + Lisa Kurtz
porous is the second collaboration between prelingually d/Deaf photo-video-installation artist Katrina Garvey and hearing photo-video artist Lisa Kurtz.
There is nothing inherent in a space that makes it deaf or hearing. Space exists in time, as events woven together from the actions of people being in the world.
This project focuses on the ways deaf and hearing bodies can un/intentionally be gatekeepers, intermediaries or couriers in spaces. porous not only references the collaborative experiences between the artists, but also the way the audience connects those experiences.
Using the materiality of light to express process, communication, culture, intimacy and distance, the artists invite the audience to amplify and form the work as they move through the exhibition space with a heightened attention to porosity.
