"disaster [place] Art Deck" (2022) 31 full color prints, numbered in roman numerals on the back sides, printed on 130 lb cougar finish cardstock; 6x4" cards printed with an image of each work of disaster [place] in a hand scripted envelope Deck is 6 x 4 x 5/8" Digital Print / Text / Minimalism and Contemporary Minimalist / Feminist Art and Contemporary Feminist / Artists’ Books ABOUT THIS PROJECT The "disaster [place]" installation (containing 29 charcoal works on paper) began as an itch to scrawl. “I wanted the feeling of going big and free and loose,” says Halpern. “I rolled out some craft paper on the kitchen floor, got on my knees, swept across the giant page with a screeching piece of charcoal. The sound was horrible… [but] that sweep became the first piece of disaster [place], the large brown sheet muse-hollering what I would like to say about this place is.” Over the next two years, 2019-2021, Halpern returned to the project, probing themes of multiplicity and spaces of possibility, as well as loss, softness, and localized disaster. The text-based installation grew slowly, with the addition of one word or phrase at a time, until a network of meaning emerged. An intuitive experience from beginning to end, the artist discovered the work to be complete and ready for presentation one day last August. A year later, the work is primed for its first public presentation. The development of the work received support from Arts On Site R&R in Kerhonkson, NY. The 31 card art deck serves as a memento. Halpern’s previous installations include Heartstrung: An Immersion in the Emotional Body, created with Talita Cabral for SMUSH Gallery in Fall 2018, and The Labyrinth for Reflection & the Generation of Love [No. 9], a public artwork commissioned by Jersey City’s Exchange Place Alliance in 2019 as part of their public art program. Halpern has previously shown small works at Deep Space Gallery in The Gigantic Miniature Show (Winter 2021), Mother Shipment (Spring 2021), and More Minis (Winter 2020). ABOUT THE ARTIST Katelyn Halpern is a Jersey City-based multidisciplinary artist originally from Austin, Texas.

Moves Fellowship, the Exchange Place Alliance, The Iron Factory, chashama, the Hambidge Center for Creative Arts, Avaloch Farm, Arts On Site Residency & Retreat, and the 2017 Choreographers in Residence Program (CHIRP) at Jersey City’s County Prep High School, among others.
