Curated by Artis research trip alumn Prem Krishnamurthy, “I’m so broke I can’t pay attention” was Michal Helfman’s first solo exhibition in New York. Helfman’s multidisciplinary work moved between sculpture, architecture, performance, and drawing. For the exhibition at K., Helfman focused on relationships between revealed and hidden agents within society. The installation combined the backstage/front-stage structure of theater to discuss the real and the symbolic, cultural, and financial exchanges and markets.
