Dis-rupted

430 Gallery, 430 N Cleveland
Dis-rupted is a durational performance, led by Crosstown Arts resident artist Santina Amato, that focuses on the materiality of bread dough and women’s bodies in a designated space at 430 N. Cleveland.
This will be the largest project Amato has attempted with bread dough, inviting ten female-identifying persons to create 300 pounds of dough in a public performance held on December 4th between 4-8pm, where they will eventually lay, stand or sit in the dough as it rises around them.
This work is a continuation of Amato’s investigations into the materiality of dough and her focus on the notion of the intimate body, especially the female body.
Amato’s work can be viewed on her website: https://santinaamato.

Artist statement:
Meraki! Come see the world the way I do. To see beauty when other people may not. Meraki is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put out “something of yourself.” These pictures are me, how I express who I am, and how I feel. I want to celebrate how far I’ve come as a photographer.

Homeward Bound
On view: Dec. 14-Jan. 27
Opening: Friday, Dec. 14, 6-8 pm
Crosstown Arts, West Gallery, 1350 Concourse, Suite 280
Group exhibition addressing the complex theme of “home.” A place of home has very different meanings to all of us. Sometimes it is a memory, a sense of place, a person, a dream, a certain chaos, a metaphorical anchor, a roof over our heads.
“I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.”
-Henry David Thoreau
-Henry David Thoreau
“Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration.” -Charles Dickens
