About the Item: Process and concept intertwine in Karin Bruckner’s memory filled prints. Her techniques layer and evolve, resulting in a chaotic surface that then is expertly reeled in. An accomplished architect, Bruckner’s prints are constructed as if building a 3D structure contained on a 2D page. She creates spatial complexity in this practice of covering and revealing. Her approach relates to her interest in evocation—a way of acting out remembering. Bruckner explains, “the plate remembers everything.” Her printing plates and papers hold impressions of past experiments and ideas. When run through the press, they leave a worn effect and pick up the marks of what they are infused with. Ghosts of their short lives follow through to each new print.
About The Artist
Karin Bruckner was born in Zurich, Switzerland and lives and works in New York, NY. Bruckner studied architecture at the Technical University in Munich, Germany and ETH in Zurich, Switzerland. She received her Masters Degree in Architecture from TU Munich in 1986 and a Masters Degree in Science from Columbia University in 1990. Bruckner came to printmaking through architecture after working in the offices of Richard Meier & Partners and Philip Johnson Architects. Due to a structure not unlike architecture's layers in space—printmaking offered a unique way of reconnecting Bruckner to her life-long passion of creating art. Her work has been exhibited in galleries around the United States, including Ceres Gallery (New York, NY); Atlantic Gallery (New York, NY); El Barrio Artspace PS 109 (New York, NY); MIDOMA (New York, NY); and The Brooklyn Collective (New York, NY). Her work has sold worldwide and is held in private collections in Europe, South America, Australia and the United States. Bruckner is represented by Susan Eley Fine Art (New York, NY and Hudson, NY) and Carter Burden Gallery (New York, NY).
