6:30 - Katya Kan 

An idiosyncratic specimen of globalization, Kan was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan, my father being North Korean and my mother Russian. Having caught a glimpse of the ex-USSR, she has a conflicting perception of political and cultural systems. Unable to fully assimilate into any one culture, she finds herself as an outsider with an eclectic artistic taste. The concepts, which she explores in her work, include globalization, surveillance, nostalgia, utopia and eroticism. She has exhibited at ICA London, Whitechapel Gallery, Royal Watercolor Society, NYC Untitled Space, the New York Art Expo as well as the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood.
