Krista Svalbonas: What Remains


  • Marshall Gallery 2525 Michigan Avenue #A6 Santa Monica, CA, 90404 United States (map)

Marshall Gallery is pleased to present Krista Svalbonas' historically rich and tactile works.
Twenty pieces on view from the series What Remains and Displacement showcase a deeply researched and timely creative endeavor from the Philadelphia-based artist. Archival letters and folk textile patterns of the artist's ancestors are cut into original architectural photographs made across dozens of trips to Lithuania, Latvia, and Germany.
Along with humble portraits of surviving refugees, the projects illuminate the story of Baltic displaced persons in post-war Europe and later under Soviet occupation, and their will to preserve a fractured cultural heritage. Translating the universal experience of longing for what’s been lost, Svalbonas' process-forward work intelligently speaks to this near-forgotten history and provokes consideration of the impact of contemporary forced migrations.
