HAPPY SAD

Happy Sad is a new body of work by resident artist Kenzie Sitterud which features an experimental kinetic installation, a collection of video performances, concrete balloon sculptures, AND hard-edge geometric abstract paintings. Happy Sad examines American privilege during times of war and the rise of fascism by leaning into absurdity through the use of the Mylar Happy Face balloon iconography and the repeated act of indulgence.

Kenzie’s work has been featured at the Denver Art Museum, Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, Meow Wolf Denver, Breck Create, Platteforum, and various galleries around the art districts of Denver.
