CHRISTINA TENAGLIA

크리스티나

"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.
