ARTIST FELLOWSHIP COMUNITY BENEFIT
As a 2023 recipient of the Somerville Arts Council Artist Fellowship in Interrelated Media, I am required (and delighted) to produce a Community Benefit Project, which will be some sort of free Thing that will likely be based on the content in Remediation. Keep an eye out for something in Summer/Fall 2023.
“Visually, Reagan Esther Myer is more dated than it is futuristic. A mutant offspring of the colorful, pixelated heyday of 80s MTV, Kopycinski’s version of the future has a campy feel. It’s theatrical, distanced from reality, and lets us feel comfortable, in on a joke. Yet Kopycinski turns this campy style towards real social criticism, and in doing so, upends our expectations. She makes us wonder: is the joke on us? With a caricature of capitalism in the White House, can we dismiss the camp aesthetic without closing off a valid form of critique? In our world, as in Reagan’s, isn’t the exaggerated and theatrical, in some ways, the most real?”
