Episode 5 - Kennedy Yanko (English version)

Épisode de Relations Libres, quand l'art va voir ailleurs par Elise Roche · 13 mars 2025 · 50 min

In today's episode, we welcome one of the most influential American sculptors of her generation, Kennedy Yanko.

Born in Saint Louis USA, she shaped her artistic language in New York before settling in Miami. Alchemist artist, she works with reclaimed metals and what she calls paint pots, which she transforms into a surprising lightness as if ready to take life at the slightest breath. Her practice transcends matter to invite a poetic rereading of what is visible and tangible. Exhibited in prestigious institutions such as the Rubell Museum and the Brooklyn Museum, she shares with us her relationship with transformation, the place of chance in her creative process and her commitment to creating spaces for reflection and transmission.

À propos du podcast

Mode, art contemporain, design : les frontières entre les différentes formes créatives n’ont jamais été aussi poreuses et en 2024 les artistes ont de plus en plus de mal à rester fidèles à une seule forme d’expression… Témoin de ces changements depuis plusieurs années, j’ai décidé de les…
