Katya Grokhovsky

Grokhovsky’s practice is varied and diverse. She investigates the autobiographical and fictionally constructed evidence of her own life of a woman, through various disciplines. Geographical and cultural displacement intermingle into a mélange of the personal and political in her work. Past ideals, current ideological and economic states heroically intertwine onto an emotionally charged artistic platform, in which she operates.

Aesthetically and historically, Grokhovsky pulls from the languages of cultural clichés, dance, art history, cinematic genres, feminist theory, social media and current world events. Often, she facilitates participatory live situations, where the audience takes precedence as a participant and her female body is offered to the public for analysis. Grokhovsky works in mediums such as live performances and actions, video, installations, photography, drawing, painting, text, collage, costume and sculpture.
