KAREN YURKOVICH: Cultural Biodiversity Projects
November 7 – December 10, 2013
Opening: Thursday, November 7 at 6pm
NEW PAINTINGS BY SACI MFA PROGRAM DIRECTOR KAREN YURKOVICH
Karen Yurkovich is a Canadian artist working between Vancouver, Canada and Florence, Italy. An integral part of her artistic practice concerns the relationship between culture and nature. Her work addresses the many ways in which nature and humanity have co-existed and co-evolved and her paintings integrate and interpret scientific categories and modes of representation. Beautiful, iconic and fragile, they are hybrids, where incongruent elements exist together and relationships become textual, as hinted at in the titles.
Karen is Director of the MFA program at Studio Art Centers International, Florence and has also taught at ECUAD. Her work has been included in the Vision TV program “Re-creating Eden” with the Italian biodiversity association Archeologia Arborea. Current projects include work with the Beaty Centre and Museum for Biodiversity, University of British Columbia. She has shown nationally and internationally including the Kunsthaus Merano, and the Flash Art Museum, Italy.
Paintings and documentation for this “work in progress” exhibition will centralize around three main bodies of work and will include a sampling of works and documents from her most recent projects with the Beaty Center and Museum for Biodiversity UBC in Vancouver as well as the Botanical Garden at UBC. Included will also be an example from her work in Italy with the biodiversity association, Archeologia Arborea, based in Umbria.
