KinoSaito Open Studios Weekend: Deville Cohen & Christine Rebet


May 21 & 22   |  1 – 5pm  |  This event is free and open to the public

 

Our resident artists Deville Cohen & Christine Rebet are opening their studios to the public for KinoSaito’s second open studios weekend of the 2022 season. Come meet the artists, see their work in progress, and enjoy light refreshments.

 

KinoSaito Residency Program is a studio + residency program designed to provide artists with the space and time necessary to focus concentrated attention on any part of their practice they feel is ripe for development. The program hosts two artists at a time for six-week sessions during the months of March through November, ensuring that practicing artists, their ideas and their energy will be a constant presence at KinoSaito. Each artist is given a generously proportioned 900 sf studio with large windows and high ceilings, a loft living quarters, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom. Regular open studio events invite visitors to talk with artists and see works-in-progress.

Christine Rebet

 

Drawing is at the heart of Rebet’s practice, which she often develops into animated films, sculpture, installations or performance art. With a background in theatre design, Rebet presents many of her animated films within custom- built spaces and installed together with props to create an immersive environment. Working with the traditional techniques of early animation she explores the unconscious and creates tales that are both anti-heroic and satirical. She uses the lens of history – reflecting on past events and traumas, both personal and collective, whilst painstakingly working with the traditional techniques of early animation – as a means of assessing the current conditions of shared historical narratives, cultures and environments.
