Without Gravity

Pace Prints is pleased to present Without Gravity, an exhibition of new multilayered handmade paper works by Kennedy Yanko. Without Gravity marks Yanko's first solo exhibition at Pace Prints. Pace Prints hosts a conversation at the gallery between the artist and Douglas Dreishpoon, Chief Curator Emeritus at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum and Director of the Catalogue Raisonné Project at the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation. To create this new body of work, Yanko engaged in multiple sessions at the Pace Paper studio, experimenting with the papermaking process for the first time. Over the course of a year, she developed a personal vocabulary of innovative techniques that mirror the large, gestural movements and material rigor of her expressive sculptures. By pouring, staining, and manipulating highly pigmented paper pulp, the artist engaged the medium with a deep sense of immediacy and physical intimacy — her hands submerged in water, moving with the rhythm of the hydraulic press, or enveloped by the material itself.
