Vita / Lebenslauf:
Tatana Kellner is a visual artist with over 20 solo exhibitions in USA and Canada. She completed a large scale installation Requiem for September 11, as a response to the September 11, 2001 attack. This installation, unveiled at the CEPA Gallery in Buffalo, served as a commemorative site of the attack for the city of Buffalo. Other installations include While You Were Sleeping, Eye Witness, Iron and Re-consider commenting on the repressive policies of the current administration.
Tatana’s current work is perhaps the most direct commentary, in that it records people and texts found in the news. She uses the simplest means of drawing and collage to create her work. Covered in dust, rubble and layers upon layers of sediments, history and politics are only revealed after digging up a lot of dirt, both physically and figuratively. She works with images in a similar way, digging through layers of information to arrive at the final images.
Tatana’s work has been featured at the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Fort Collins, Co, Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, New Paltz, and Center for Photography at Woodstock, Bucknell University in Lewisburg, PA and Creative Concepts in Beacon, NY, Neuberger Museum, Purchase, NY and District Fine Arts Gallery, Washington, DC, among others.
In 2008 she received the Puffin Foundation Grant and in 2005 the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. Tatana is also the recipient of two New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowships, two Photographer’s Fund Award from the Center for Photography at Woodstock and Ruth Chenven Foundation Grant. She has been awarded residencies at The MacDowell Colony (three times), Yaddo, Banff Centre for the Arts, Lightwork, Visual Studies Workshop, Saltonstall Art Colony, Millay Colony, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, Artpark, Blue Mountain Center, Jentel and Ragdale Foundation.
Tatana is the founding member and Artistic Director of Women’s Studio Workshop, an artists’ workspace in Rosendale, NY where she is instrumental in helping artists publish and market limited edition artists’ books. Her work encompasses printmaking,
photography and installation and she is the author of 11 limited edition artists’ books.
