Zilberman is proud to announce the representation of Yane Calovski.
Yane Calovski’s artistic practice is research-based and interdisciplinary. He examines the processes of interconnecting existing, inconclusive modernist narratives and how these, as evocations, can stimulate a new critical imagination. The nonlinearity of collective memory informs his practice. Visually, he articulates his work both abstractly and figuratively. His methodology includes writing, drawing, building, and video-documenting, leading to installations that concern a site’s spatial and contextual specificity, the material, and the conceptual elasticity of the form. Ultimately, his works reassemble archives, questioning how history is practiced, produced, presented, and consumed.
Yane Calovski graduated from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1996) and Bennington College (1997). He participated in the studio programs in CCA Kitakyushu, Japan (1999–2000) and Jan van Eyck Academie, Netherlands (2002–04). In 2004, he co-founded the Press to Exit Project Space, a platform dedicated to artistic research and curatorial practices, with Hristina Ivanoska.
