'''Catherine Yass''' (born 1963) is an [[England|English]] [[artist]]. |
|||
Catherine Yass was born in 1963 in London, and lives and works in the UK. In 2002, Yass was nominated for the Turner prize. |
|||
She studied at the Slade School of Art, London (1982-1986) and then at Hochschule der Künste, Berlin (1984-1985). She received a Boise travelling scholarship for the period 1986-1987 and then graduated with an MA from Goldsmiths College, London in 1990. |
|||
Major recent commissions include ''Decommissioned'' for JCC, The Jewish Community Centre, London (2013); ''Rambert'', for the Rambert Dance Company, London (2013); and ''Split Sides'', Merce Cunningham, Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York (2003). |
|||
Yass is noted for her films and brightly coloured [[photograph]]s. Her stills present an image which is usually a combination of the positive and negative. Many of her works are mounted on [[light box]]es. Yass's subjects are varied: her early works often depict the people and institutions who commissioned, supported, or curated her work. Later she concentrated on interiors, making a series of photos of Smithfields Market in London, and another, ''Corridor'' (1994), of a mental hospital. Other series included shots of [[toilet]]s, steel mills in [[Wales]] and ''Star'', a series of pictures of [[India]]n [[Bollywood]] stars displayed alongside pictures of empty [[movie theater|cinemas]]. |
|||
Yass has also worked with [[video]]. ''Descent'' (2002) is a film made by lowering the camera in a crane over a construction site at London's [[Canary Wharf]]. With a moving camera, she also took a series of still photographs (such as ''Descent: HQ5: 1/2s, 4.7°, Omm 40mph''), resulting in images of vertical streaks and blurred patches of colour. |
|||
In 2000, Yass designed the [[Christmas tree]] for [[Tate Britain]], and in the same year along with [[Richard Wentworth (artist)|Richard Wentworth]] she designed the public square around [[The New Art Gallery Walsall]]. More recently, Yas has had solo exhibitions including ''Lighthouse'' at Alison Jacques Gallery, London (2012); a mid-career retrospective at De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill-on-Sea (2011); ''Flight'', The Phillips Collections, Washington D.C.; ''The China Series'', Stedelijk-Hertogenbosch Museum, The Netherlands (2009); ''Descent'', St Louis Art Museum, St Louis, MO (2009). |
|||
Yass has also recently participated in the 13th Montreal Photo Biennale (2013) and additional group shows include ''Desire Lines'', Australian Centre of Contemporary Art, Melbourne (2012); ''Government Art Collection: Commissions: Now and Then'', Whitechapel Gallery, London (2012); ''The World in London'', Photographer’s Gallery, London (2012); ''Skyscraper: Art and Architecture Against Gravity'', Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (2012); and ''High Wire'', Tate Britain, London (2012). |
|||
There are several publications that document Yass's work, these include: ''Star'', pub. The British Council, 2001; ''Catherine Yass: works 1994-2000'', pub. aspreyjacques, 2005; ''Catherine Yass: Filmography'', pub. Fundacion La Caixa de Pensions, 2005; and ''High Wire'', pub. Art Angel and Glasgow International Festival of Art, 2008. |
|||
Her work features in a number of collections worldwide including Tate, London; Arts Council of England, The British Council and the Government Art Collection, London; The Jewish Museum, New York; Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh; and the National Museum of Women in the Arts Collection, Washington DC. |
|||
In July 2014 Yass was refused permission to drop a piano from the 27-story [[Balfron Tower]] in [[Poplar, London]] as part of a "community workshop to explore how sound travels".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/piano-drop-stunt-artist-catherine-yass-turner-prize-balfron-tower-poplar-9596914.html |title=Artist's plan to drop piano off 27-storey tower block falls flat |author=Tom Brooks-Pollock}}</ref> |
