Stanya Kahn

Weiss Berlin is pleased to announce the first solo show of Stanya Kahn in Berlin.

New and recent works in video, animation and on canvas continue Kahn’s practice of using allegory and metaphor to complicate spaces between humor and anxiety, irony and awe, dejection and concern. In exuberantly colorful drawings and paintings, land, water, animals and barely embodied humans staring into their devices, linger at the edge exhaustion.The feature-length experimental narrative video Don’t Go Back to Sleep (2014), showing for the first time in Berlin, forms the darkly humorous core of the exhibition.
