Hope Kroll:
Fragmented Memories
curated by Jennifer Rizzo
March 2nd – March 23rd, 2019
NEW YORK CITY – Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Fragmented Memories with California based artist Hope Kroll, curated by Jennifer Rizzo. Fragmented Memories will be this artists inaugural solo exhibitions at Hashimoto Contemporary, in which she will be exhibiting collage and mixed media works.
For Fragmented Memories. The contemplation of memory, the past and the incorporation of vintage ephemera create unifying themes in Hope Kroll’s work, calling to question how we recall the past, as well as the ability to create something new, transforming our own sense of memories.
Hope Kroll combines elements of collage with the three dimensionality of assemblage, creating collage work that is saturated with movement, energy and detail. Utilizing antique hand cut paper and photographs, these complex works focus on the materials and their own unique histories, deconstructing and reconstructing the materials before re-contextualizing them. For the exhibition, Kroll used a recurring portrait of a woman referred to as Kay, which the artist collected over the years. Juxtaposed with a variety of animals, mechanical parts and equipment, the artist asks the viewer to question who this woman was, and beyond that, what are the types of things we project onto others? What is fact vs story? Kroll’s fantastical works create beautifully condensed portraits of the many magical stories of Kay.
Please join us Saturday, March 2nd from 6pm – 9pm for the opening reception of Fragmented Memories. The artist will be in attendance. This exhibition will be on view through Saturday, March 23rd.
