chashama in association with Rachel Kohn presents Skin at 266 created by Rachel Kohn 266 West 37th Street July 1st - July 21st, 2006 FREE and open to the public at all times chashama is pleased to present "SKIN", an installation by Rachel Kohn. This exhibition transforms the space into an intricate, abstract landscape that the viewer can enter into. Inspired by things falling apart, pieces coming back together, sickness, surgery, vulnerability and decay, she combines all of these elements and visually romanticizes them. The result is a dramatic space expressing tremendous weight and gravitational pull.     also
