ARTIST: STANYA KAHN


I thought this was amazing:
"...In the third and central video, It’s Cool, I’m Good, language and physicality merge as Kahn resumes her familiar place in front of the camera. With a complex sound score and over twenty locations featured, It’s Cool, I’m Good reflects a stressed personal state amidst a stressed environment. Economic collapse, urban tension, ecological demise are real and metaphorical contexts for the pressurized state of just being, represented symbolically by full-body injuries from a mysterious cause. With an inexorable sense of humor, Kahn’s protagonist is vulnerable and manipulative, narcissistic and generous, steering the viewer as an enthusiastic tour guide all the while offering a non-stop flow of anecdotes, observations, and advice on how to navigate this difficult reality."
