Artist talk: Katarina Burin - lecture at the VI PER gallery
On Thursday November 30, 2017 at 7:00 PM, a lecture by Katarina Burin will take place at Galerie VI PER, Vítkova 2, Prague 8, where she will speak about the end of her recent long-term project on the life and work of Petra Andrejova-Molnár (1898–1987) and will connect the past project with her current research on the work of Fran Hosken (1920–2006), a furniture designer, educator, and activist, who was among the first women to graduate from Harvard University's architecture school.
Katarina Burin was born in Slovakia and emigrated to Canada with her parents at the age of six. Her work is very diverse (including drawing, models, collages, installations) and she has long been interested in the history of architecture, particularly modernism, the position of women in architecture, and the possibilities and limits of historical documentation. She recently published her first monograph, Contribution and Collaboration: The Work of Petra Andrejova-Molnár and Her Contemporaries (Koenig Books, 2016), which presents Petra Andrejova-Molnár, a fictional modernist architect from Brno, as a figure intensely involved in the development of architectural movements of the early 20th century. Recent solo exhibitions of Katarina Burin include those at Neubauer Collegium at the University of Chicago, Kunstverein Langenhagen, Ratio 3 (San Francisco), and P! (New York), while group exhibitions include, for example, Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, and Aspen Art Museum. Burin is a recipient of the Schloss Solitude Fellowship, a publication grant from the Graham Foundation, and the James and Audrey Foster Prize for 2013. She currently serves as a lecturer in visual and environmental studies at Harvard University and is a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study there.
