Lauren Bakst

Group

May 18 - July 8, 2018

Lauren Bakst will present Group, a single-channel video installation in the front gallery.

Group is a monologue on repeat.
The word “monologue” comes from the Greek monologos, which translates to “speaking alone.”
Obvious but also; what an oxymoron.
Each of the performers in Group are people I met in group—group therapy, or group analysis, to be more precise.
We rehearse every week.

Lauren Bakst is an artist and writer living in New York. She works in, with, and through dance to approach performance as an object of inquiry.
