Kilo Kish Robinson. Blessed Assurance: A Dream That I Had

About

BLESSED ASSURANCE: a dream that i had is an exhibition examining the interactivity between the spiritual and creative. Kilo Kish explores the sacrificial nature of the artists’ path. Opening on November 15th, this show marks her second solo show at HVW8 Art + Design Gallery Los Angeles.

The show features a 3-channel film euphoric featuring artist interviews and the revelations that come from creative practice.

“When I started interviewing the artists, I was so inspired by their willingness to suffer for a calling they found pure. Their audacity made them saintly to me. I wanted to explore belief in one’s art and the way it relates to religious faith and spiritual calling. Creative practice almost becomes a religion. And I think, through it, you become closer to God.”

The show will feature an interactive “audio-visual room of the mind” where visitors become a part of the creative process.

The title of the show BLESSED ASSURANCE comes from a hymn. “This entire show came to me in a dream. I find it intriguing to create a physical space from a mindset and an openness that I feel so connected to as a driving force. I’m happy to explore the act of making as its very own reward. Its very own promise and certainty.”

There’s a sparkling sculptural altar that represents all creative vision, belief, and worth created through the work. “It is the embodiment of unattainable perfection. Creatives are constantly running towards a promised land that is somehow always out of reach.”
