Karen Yasinsky sky every day Platform Project Space
June 19 - August 19, 2018
20 Jay Street, #319 Brooklyn, NY 11201
Platform is pleased to present “sky every day,” a show of works on paper by Baltimore based film and visual artist Karen Yasinsky.
Platform is a new project space in Dumbo, Brooklyn founded by Elizabeth Hazan to showcase and support work by fellow artists and develop curatorial projects. Platform will be open by appointment this Summer. For further information, please contact [email protected] or call 917 494 7595.
Taking its title from a poem by Aram Saroyan, “sky every day,” marks Yasinsky’s return to two dimensional work after many years of focusing on her acclaimed films. Like Saroyan, who reduces poems to starkly necessary words so that they become compressed objects on the page, radiant with meaning, Yasinsky employs flatness and reduction to make powerful forms. Works include hand-drawn copies of pixilated images, drawings of surreal abstracted heads, collages and photo-based works. All are made with an obsessive concentration and attention to the mark, line, dot or color. The subject falls away in the process to be found in the end in the finished object. The work here ranges from single and double image drawings made with graphite, gouache, ink, collage, Polaroids, ink-jet prints and ribbon.
Yasinsky considers drawing, collage, found footage and appropriated images to be objects with potential energy. Her film practice considers the joining of fragmented images, activating and configuring them in ways that examine a metonymical flow of consciousness. For this show, she is working with her own drawings as found objects, put in relation to each other, fragmented images from Paul Outerbridge photographs, original photos and old Polaroids of the sky. Her drawing practice focuses mostly on faces, a universal given. “The creation of a face/head is about a continual re-drawing, trying to find something to communicate meaning through an extended process and inevitably about failure.” In these haunting and resonant images, Yasinsky carries over the obsessive mark making that is a hallmark of her animation work and imbues these images with something uncertain but deeply sincere about being human.
Karen Yasinsky was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA and has a BA from Duke University and an MFA from Yale. Her video installations and drawings have been shown in many venues internationally including the Mori Art Musuem, Tokyo; PS1 Contemporary Art, NY; UCLA Hammer Museum, LA; the Wexner Center, Columbus, Museum Folkwang, Essen, Kunst Werke, Berlin and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Her films and videos have been screened worldwide at various venues and film festivals including the National Gallery of Art, DC, MoMA, NY, the New York Film Festival's Views from the Avant Garde, Crossroads, SF, the San Francisco International Film Festival, Images Festival, Toronto, the International Film Festival Rotterdam and the Ann Arbor Film Festival where she won the Leon Speakers Award for Best Sound Design in 2013. She is the recipient of a Baker Award, Guggenheim Fellowship and is a fellow of the American Academy in Berlin and the American Academy in Rome. She teaches at Johns Hopkins University in Film and Media Studies.

Drawing Stories: Narration in Contemporary Graphic Art
May 19 - July 15, 2012
One trend in contemporary graphic arts of growing importance in the recent years is a turning to the principle of narration. At the same time, under the catchword “Storytelling”, narration has become a central form of communication in other areas of social life as well. The exhibition Depicting Stories focuses on this significant current in art for the first time. It presents the contemporary work of 12 German and international artists who are among the most interesting exponents of a narrative drawing. In doing so, different forms of narrative are confronted with one another to illustrate the range and potential of this artistic position. Animated art films developed from drawings will also be presented. Artists Amy Cutler, Marcel Dzama, Marcel van Eeden, Rachel Goodyear, Jana Gunstheimer, Pia Linz, Micha Payer & Martin Gabriel, Jenny Perlin, Danica Phelps, Andreas Seltzer, Karen Scheper, Karen Yasinsky
