Using primarily found materials, Elena Bajo creates a space of potentiality for the viewer. Referencing the idea of the blank and the erased as explored in the work of John Cage and Robert Rauschenberg, the installation on view is suspended somewhere in between photography, film, sculpture, drawing, text and painting, using White Columns’ exhibition space as both inherent framework for the work and as a medium. The artist has described her interest in “the social and political dimensions of everyday spaces, the strategies to conceptualize resistance, the poetics of ideologies, and the relationship between temporalities and subjectivities.”
Elena Bajo lives and works in New York and Berlin. She has an upcoming solo exhibition at P.S.1, and recently participated in projects at Sculpture Center, LIC (2009), ISCP, New York (2009), Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Berlin (2008) and was one of the founders of the temporary art space EXHIBITION, Two-Eleven, NYC (2009). In 2005, she received an MFA from Central Saint Martins School of Art in London.
