*********

Recital reproduces a collection of private moments that have been brought together by a search for Erik Satie’s “Gymnopédie No.1” on YouTube. The result is a seductive series of personal material: child ballerinas, amateur pole dancers, repetitive motion, and pieces of blonde hair, caught in a space between immediate documentation and one’s fleeting memory.

Alexandra Gorczynski (b. 1983) earned a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, RI) in 2006. She has had two solo shows in the United States, most recently at Zhulong Gallery, (Dallas, TX, 2014) and Transfer Gallery (Brooklyn, NY, 2013). In addition to these solo exhibitions, her work has been displayed in numerous group shows in the U.S and Europe. In 2013. Her work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Art Review Magazine, and Dazed and Confused Magazine. She currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.
