Open Sessions Artist 2014-16: Yuri Masnyj
.
“I draw on the aesthetic of historical avant-garde, particularly Russian Constructivism, to combine elements inspired by graphic design, architecture, and the art-historical past to comment on the ways that the avant-garde has filtered into the mainstream.” -Yuri Masnyj
.
Yuri Masnyj lives and works in New York. His work has been shown at MoMA PS1, Queens; Museum 52, New York; and Brooklyn Front Gallery, Brooklyn.
.
Open Sessions is a two-year program which provides opportunities for selected artists to contextualize work and ideas through exhibitions, public programs, and critical dialogue, organized by Rosario Güiraldes and Lisa Sigal, Open Sessions Curators.
