CHRISTINA TENAGLIA

“To make something that exists on the cusp of being named without crossing into the nameable cannot be an easy thing to do, especially over and over again. And yet Tenaglia does exactly that in her “Untitled” works. At a time when the art world seems to want to spell everything out, so nothing is missed, she takes a different path, following the inexplicable perceptual moments encountered in everyday life.”
-John Yau
Christina Tenaglia holds a BA from Vassar College and an MFA from Yale University School of Art. She is currently a Visiting Professor at Vassar College, living and working in Saugerties, NY.
“실제로 이름을 짓지 않고, 막 이름 지어지기 전의 것들을 만든다는 것은, 특히 계속해서 만들어낸다는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 하지만 티내글리아는 그녀의 <무제> 작품들을 통해 정확히 그 일을 하고 있다. 요즘의 예술계가 빠뜨리는 것이 없이 할 말을 다하는 풍토에 있을 때, 그녀는 다른 길을 택했다–우리의 일상 생활 속에 일어나는 설명할 수 없는 감각의 순간들을 따르는 일을 말이다.”
–존 야우
크리스티나 티내글리아는 바사 컬리지에서 학사를, 예일 대학교에서 미술로 석사를 받았다. 요즘 바사 컬리지에서 강의를 하면서, 뉴욕 주 소거티스에서 작업 활동을 하고 있다.
