Kennedy Yanko for Art Basel

Contemporary sculptor Kennedy Yanko debuted "By means other than the known senses" at the 2022 edition of Unlimited, Art Basel’s curated section of monumental sculpture. She created her work in Spring 2022 at pre-reserved studio A.

Yanko had dedicated space and time in pre-reserved studio A, where she focused on building this large-scale sculpture, which stands nearly 6 meters tall. The suspended sculpture is composed of a rusty-apricot metal sourced from a local provider, and green paint skin. 

To create this work, Yanko employed a crashing and breaking method, where Yanko utilized heavy machinery to reconfigure the metal until it arrived in its final state.

Yanko’s work can be found in private collections and museums around the world, including the Bunker Artspace (West Palm Beach), the Norton Museum (West Palm Beach), Espacio Tacuari (Buenos Aires), the Rubell Museum (Miami), and the Albertina Museum (Vienna).

"By means other than the known senses” was created for the ART BASEL’s UNLIMITED section in 2022. We're proud to have been part of this project and we hope to continue working with talented artists like Yanko in the future.
