Bogdan Cheta

Hovering between the uncertain space of writing an essay without a subject and then living underneath this essay as a way to make a shelter, Notes on how to cook with thoughts will drift as a living still-life image that performs both as a mode of writing and as a material object. An object that you can take in your pocket and inhabit at will, as a way to be alone — alone with others, in a pocket.

Bogdan’s residency at 67 Steps takes place between Nov. 12 -19 and will conclude with a limited edition textual script for how to recall the shape(s) of this object as a virtual field that uses everyday life in the experience of its own unfolding.

To accompany the exhibition, the artist has written The Drift _ The Weave.pdf, available here: goo.gl/by9yhR

Simultaneously present and critically absent from the communities his projects immerse into, Bogdan Cheta is an artist and writer who works somewhere in-between literature and the virtual world of crafted images. Exhibitions of his work often take the gallery space and immerse its architecture in ongoing performances that script sculptural events in their interaction with the gallery staff and the visiting public. Recent projects have shown at the 12th Havana Biennial in Cuba and at the 7th Mountain Standard Time Performance Biennial in Calgary. Currently Bogdan is an MFA candidate in the Craft Media Program at the Alberta College of Art + Design in Calgary, Canada.
