Abandoned Places:
Sight. Stories. Sound.
K. Elevitch
with Lou S., Joel & Maks Newton, The Nerdy Duo
September 2023, Rockland Center for the Arts
Abandoned Places is an interactive multi-media installation that explores identity, belonging and mark making utilizing i-phone videography, projections, sound design, songwriting & more.
Awarded a 2023 Individual Artist Grant from ArtsWestchester/NYSCA, Abandoned Places unearths the quiet, in-between spaces of three artists age 16, 25 and 50 re-emerging into their creativity, healing and community after the Pandemic. Elevitch’s storytelling invites us into a powerful private meditative world that asks us to discover for ourselves: “What is - Where is Home?”
"Katie Elevitch’s exhibition “Abandoned Places” is…at times …whimsical and warm…melancholy. The exhibit gets to the core of what it means to be an artist. It’s arrangement and …development penetrates the core of what is means to be human — honesty and vulnerability".
-Aaron Sital, exhibit visitor, Storytelling Workshop participant & RoCA Facilities Manager, 2023.
