The Very Best of NYC Art

November 1, 2007 Juliet Macey

Netherlands native Kathe Burkhart’s first solo U.S. exhibition is on view now through Jan 7 at P.S.1. Burkhart frankly engages gender roles, sexuality, celebrity and language in an interdisciplinary art form. Her Liz Taylor Series uses pop art imagery and assemblage to critique representation and the sexual politics of identity. Images of Liz Taylor overlaid with profanities provide a platform in which Burkhart addresses feminist resistance, female dominance and sexual power. Additionally, the exhibition will feature haikus by the artist, who is also known as a writer, as well as a new photography display of covert documentary-style portraits taken at clothing-optional public beaches.
