Vasari21 Pic of the Week: Through December 19, Krista Svalbonas Fine Art has a solo show at Klompching Gallery in Brooklyn. The exhibition surveys her recent projects, incorporating mixed media, painting, three-dimensional sculptural pieces and photographs that use laser cutting. “As the child of parents who arrived in the United States as refugees, ideas of home and dislocation have always been compelling to Svalbonas,” notes the gallery. “Her work explores this theme, with architectural structure serving as the anchor around which she explores family history and subsequent personal identity in relation of ‘place’. Project titles such as ‘Displacement,’ ‘Migrants,’ ‘Migrator,’ and ‘In the Presence of Memory’ are seemingly simple pointers to a subject that is layered and complex.” Shown here: “Migrants 24” (2014), pigment print and collage on board, 14 by 14 inches
