1- ((better)) — Kristy Gabres -part

Kristy Gabres was born on a frozen January morning in 1992, not in a hospital, but in the back of a Chevrolet Astro van stuck on Interstate 94 outside of Benton Harbor, Michigan. Her mother, Lena Gabres, a 19-year-old migrant worker’s daughter, would later joke that Kristy’s first act was “arriving late and choosing the most difficult route possible.”

“I thought I had failed the vow,” she wrote on November 12, 2015. “I thought bridges were supposed to stand firm. No one told me they sway in the wind. No one told me they groan.”

In February 2016, a neighbor (and fellow artist) named Marcus Teel posted a photograph of one of Gabres’s diary pages—specifically, a drawing of a building that looked like a cross between a Gothic cathedral and a circuit board. The caption read: ”My neighbor hasn’t left her room in weeks. She drew this with a ballpoint pen by candlelight. I’ve never seen anything like it.” Kristy Gabres -Part 1-

Her first semi-public exhibition happened in the elevator shaft of the abandoned Michigan Central Station. There was no permit, no gallery, no wine-and-cheese reception. Just seven pieces hung by fishing wire, illuminated by car headlights. Thirty-seven people attended. One of them was Mira Seong, a curator from the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (MOCAD).
