SUMMARY:ARTSpeak: Yashua Klos
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Klos by Andrew Kist.             “Your Strength Is In Your Shadow” (2021) by Yashua Klos. Image courtesy of UTA Artist Space.       \nIn his multimedia practice\, Yashua Klos explores themes of identity\, memory\, and African Americans’ relation­ship to American labor. His large-scale works are created from the intricate formation of woodblock prints\, representing ideas of Blackness through multi-dimensional\, fragmented portraits. Unlike traditional collage arranged from ready-made source material\, Klos creates all his collage material through woodblock printing and monotypes. His work reimagines the Black body as an alchemical being\, surviving and existing within intertwined networks of history\, myth\, and lived reality. \nYashua Klos was born in 1971 in Chicago\, and currently lives and works in Brooklyn. His work has been shown in museums and galleries across the U.S. and abroad\, including the Studio Museum of Harlem; What If The World Gallery in Johannesburg\, South Africa; Tilton Gallery\, NY; and UTA Artist Space\, Los Angeles\, CA. He has been awarded artist residences at Skowkegan\, The Vermont Studio Center\, and Bemis\, and was the recipient of a Joan Mitchell Fellowship and a NYFA grant. \nThis program is presented by the Fine Arts Department and has been made possible by a generous grant from Susan Daykin. \nThis event is free and open to the public; FIT requires face masks be worn by all audience members.

The artist and writer David Humphrey observed that “Altfest’s paintings celebrate the way objects become engulfed by their surroundings and simple acts of identification multiply and transform.” \nAltfest was born in 1970 in New York\, where she currently lives and works. In addition to graduating from Cornell University and from Yale\, she attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, Maine. She was awarded a studio space at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation\, New York\, and she has held residencies at the Zabludowicz Collection\, Finland\, and the Chinati Foundation\, Marfa\, Texas. She led an artist workshop at the Kyoto City University of Arts\, Japan. Since her first solo exhibitions at Bellwether Gallery\, New York\, in 2002 and 2005\, Altfest has had solo exhibitions at White Cube\, London\, and her work has been featured in exhibitions at the New Museum\, New York\, the Venice Biennale\, and at MK Gallery\, Milton Keynes\, U.K. Her current exhibition\, Green Spot\, is on view at White Cube\, Hong Kong\, China. \n\nThis event is part of the ARTSpeak 2018–2019 lecture series\, Artists and the New Muse\, an interdisciplinary program presented by the departments of Fine Arts\, History of Art\, and English and Communication Studies. \nARTSpeak is made possible in part through funding by the FIT Student-Faculty Committee\, the School of Art and Design\, and the School of Liberal Arts. \nFor more information\, visit blog.fitnyc.edu/artspeak. \nThe event is free and open to the public.
