Tamar Ettun “Performing Studio”
Triangle Arts Association
This event has ended.
Triangle invites artist Tamar Ettun to inhabit 163 Plymouth Street as a hybrid exhibition space and artist’s studio, open to the public. Throughout September the artist will be working inside the space, continuing to develop her Performing Stillness series—a formal investigation of the body and the visceral world. Ettun breaks and assembles objects that wouldn’t normally be combined together, creating unique and transformed works that evoke abstracted narratives through their stillness. She sources discarded and familiar objects that have a specific functional use and reconstructs a new assemblage, stripping the original object of its meaning.
Tamar Ettun is a Brooklyn based multimedia artist from Jerusalem, Israel. Ettun received her MFA from Yale University in 2010, she studied at Cooper Union in 2007, while earning her BFA from Bezalel Academy. She is an alumni of the 2012 Triangle Artists’ Workshop.
Ettun’s solo exhibitions and performances include: NADA NYC (2014) Braverman Gallery (2014) Indianapolis Museum of Art (2013) Performa 11 (2011) Andrea Meislin Gallery (2011) Performa 09 presented by the X-Initiative (2009).
Ettun has been honored by several organizations including MacDowell Fellowship, Pollock Krasner Foundation, Abrons Art Center, The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, Art Production Fund, Socrates Sculpture Park, The World Performance Project, Artis, and RECESS. Ettun is currently working towards mastering the skill of opening a sardine can using only her teeth.
