Terry Chatkupt: A Year

Terry Chatkupt: A Year is an exhibition of recent artwork by Pasadena-based artist Terry Chatkupt that investigates our connections to nature and family, especially in the time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Referring to the year under lockdown and a video work of the same name, A Year investigates the complex relationships between the natural and man-made, the outdoors and indoors, and the emotional effects of navigating between these spaces, from the point of view of Chatkupt and his young children exploring their Northeast Pasadena neighborhood during the pandemic. Inclusive of video, photography, installation, and atmospheric music, the exhibition reveals nature not only through the lens of the camera, but through the imagination, curiosity, and emotional reflections of the artist and his kids.
