LISI RASKIN




LISI RASKIN

Born 1974 in Miami (FL), USA

Lisi Raskin addresses certain correlations between art and science with an interest that has provoked excursions to malignant locations like the Oakridge National Laboratory (TN), the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (Lithuania), and former East German Atomic Bunkers. During these experiences she imagines assortments of devastation while attempting to remain in contact with the logical and illogical elements of a catastrophic event. This part of her practice has informed the making of drawings, objects, videos, and installations that simultaneously quell and stimulate her fear of technological progress and pathology. She received an MFA from Columbia University School of Arts in 2003. Her work was last seen in an installation entitled Command and Control at the Park Avenue Armory during the ADDA fair. And has been exhibited internationally at institutions like Kuenstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin, CAC in Vilnius, P.S.1 in New York, Moma in Miami and IASPIS in Stockholm.
