Group exhibition 'Down the Rabbit Hole' explores pandemic experiences through 30+ artists at The Crypt Gallery
The exhibition 'Down the Rabbit Hole' will be held at The Crypt Gallery from April 17th to 19th, showcasing the work of over 30 artists responding to the Covid-19 pandemic and its lockdowns. Organized by Katya's Space, a social enterprise in memory of artist Katya Kan, who passed away in 2023, the event is inspired by Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.' Kan, known for painting in a rabbit costume, features three depictions of herself falling down a rabbit hole. Contributions include Lauren Baker's installation on deathbed regrets, Giannina Delpino's reflections on isolation, and Amanda Kuhn's tornado drawings symbolizing chaos. Kan's artwork also critiques digital immersion during the pandemic. The exhibition, which includes Kan's posthumous work, is free to attend and highlights the profound impact of the global crisis on art and personal viewpoints.
