Art by Katie Hovencamp
In her new solo exhibit, Orna-Mental, Bunker Projects resident artist Katie Hovencamp humorously explores ideas of femininity and beauty through photography, sculpture and other mediums. Hovencamp discussed the show, which opens Friday. WHAT IS THIS SHOW LIKE? I like to turn things on their heads by making them excessive. For example, I’ll take a concept that is considered beautiful, like bows, and put them into massive pile forms, making this overwhelming, sickeningly beautiful thing. WHAT DO YOU HOPE VIEWERS TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR WORK? I want people to [be able] to laugh at themselves, or laugh at the acts people go through in order to achieve beauty. We’re conditioned to look nice and proper in public, and it is kind of a comical act how far people will go to achieve that [idea of] ideal beauty. Opening reception: 7-10 p.m. Fri., Aug. 15. Exhibit continues through Aug. 23. 5106 Penn Ave., Bloomfield. 412-440-8422 or www.bunkerprojects.org
