<a href="https://www.anderszanichkowsky.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Anders Zanichkowsky</a> is an artist, weaver, and the owner of <a href="https://www.burialblankets.net" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Burial Blankets</a>. Part of the group show <a href="https://artlitlab.org/events/aesthetics-of-loss" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Aesthetics of Loss</a> (July 11 - September 1) "for G" is a memorial for their first love, comprised of a handwoven shroud and an audio piece created from cell phone recordings addressing him in death as a way to mourn. At turns affectionate, philosophical, and raw with grief, the audio piece circles around themes of romance and youth; the magic of cinema, art, and memory; and the vulnerability of queer people to untimely death. The live performance is a chance to experience the work in an intimate gathering that may feel like a cross between a wake and a late-night phone conversation. Anders will be sitting on a bench with the cloth while the audio piece plays, and people are invited to come sit beside them for part of the performance if they wish.The gallery opens for seating at 7:00 and the performance begins promptly at 7:15 running approximately one hour. Afterwards there will be a reception with the artist. During regular hours, visitors can sit with the cloth and listen to the audio piece over their headphones.Accessibility and COVID Precautions:Art Lit Lab has a wheelchair accessible entrance and gender neutral bathrooms, all on the ground floor with no steps. Proof of vaccination is required and masks must be worn during the performance. There will be armless chairs and a section designated for social distancing at 6 feet apart.
