We are pleased to introduce Yuliya Lanina! Yuliya is one of our two exhibiting artists in our branch of the Contemporary Art Month Perennial, “The Things We Carry: We’ve Known Each Other For Centuries” curated by Casie Lomeli and Leslie Moody Castro.
You can learn a little about Yuliya below:
Yuliya Lanina is an interdisciplinary artist whose work bridges traditional media with new technologies. She creates alternate realities in her works—ones based on sexuality, trauma, and identity.
Lanina has exhibited and performed extensively both nationally and internationally. Her performances and animations have been presented at the Blanton Museum of Art, Fusebox and OUTsider Festival (Austin, TX), Teatro Santa Ana (San Miguel de Allende, Mexico), Austrian Film Museum (Vienna, Austria), Le Carreau du Temple (Paris, France), Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (Florida), El Museo Cultural (Santa Fe), and Museum Ludwig (Germany).
Lanina’s professional honors include fellowships and scholarships from Fulbright (Vienna, Austria), Headlands Art Center (CA), Yaddo (NY), Artpace (San Antonio, TX), Marble House Project (VT), The Puffin Foundation (NJ), and an Honorable Citation from the New York State Assembly (NYC). Lanina’s most recent animation Gefilte Fish won Best International Short Film at the Tamuz Shomron Film Festival and an Honorable Mention at the Female Eye Film Festival (Canada).
Lanina holds an MFA from Hunter College and is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Department of Arts and Entertainment Technologies at The University of Texas at Austin.
