Yael Frank

Yael Frank is a multi-disciplinary artist working mainly in sculpture and video. Her satiric projects conceptually hack cultural and textual systems, arguing for emotional connections between historical memory and esoteric consumerist goods. Frank employs comedic strategies to expose multiple points of view on the precarious state of ethical concepts. Her work aims to test the seriousness of political ethos by orchestrating situations that are physically beyond language.

Yael Frank has exhibited work at The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, Israel; The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; and FuturDome, Milano, among others.

Andrew Ross

Escher once asked, “Are you really sure that a floor can’t also be a ceiling?” The Dutch artist might have ignored the fundamentals of gravity, but Andrew Ross takes them head on, laying out a narrative where gravity is a character as real as the mole or ant. Ross’s exhibition—with its creatures, exotic garden, and reclining man admiring an apple —distorts what could otherwise be seen as a kind of pastoral. Using the language of display (plinths, pedestals, trusses), Ross teases out the purgatory between what we experience and what we know: the heavens, the earth, and the scafolding that connects them. The many faces of astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson found in Ross’s flowers One suspects Tyson would admire the way that Ross’s universe, situated in the double helix of fact and ction, gives body to the forces we usually take for granted. His Untitled (Figure), a nod to the Newtonian myth, locates us in a moment of wonder when daydreams collide with reality. The ceiling and floor collapse and leave us with a divine sense of self- awareness. In the words of Tyson: “We are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us.” — Kat Herriman, Artforum Critic's Pick

Artist

Remy Jungerman

Remy Jungerman’s work explores the intersection of pattern and symbol in Surinamese Maroon culture, the larger African Diaspora, and twentieth-century modernism. Jungerman challenges the established art historical canon by bringing seemingly disparate visual languages into conversation. Art and culture critic Greg Tate writes “Jungerman’s work leaps boldly and deftly into the epistemological gap between culturally confident Maroon self-knowledge and the Dutch learning curve around all things Jungerman, Afropean, and Eurocentric.”

Remy Jungerman has exhibited work at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam; Gemeente Museum, The Hague; Havana Biennial, Cuba; Prospect.3: Notes for Now, New Orleans; Brooklyn Museum, New York; and Goodman Gallery, London, amongst others. Jungerman is the recipient of the Fritschy Culture Award, The Netherlands. His work has been featured in numerous publications and has been acquired by various institutions and private collectors worldwide.
