BIOGRAPHY
Katarina Jerinic makes work about the landscape found on streets and sidewalks, primarily in New York City, where she lives, and also wherever she goes because the built environment is everywhere. She draws upon her MFA in Photography and Related Media from School of Visual Arts, New York, and BA in History from American University, Washington, DC, to inform her site-responsive, mixed-media practice.
Jerinic’s projects have been shown both indoors and out including at SPACES, Cleveland, OH; Baxter St at CCNY, New York; Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, University of Nevada Las Vegas; Staten Island Museum, NY; Queens Museum, NY; Bronx Museum of the Arts, NY; BRIC, Brooklyn, NY; Center for Book Arts, New York; PS122 Gallery, New York; MOCA Arlington, VA; Proteus Gowanus, Brooklyn, NY; along the Gowanus Canal, Brooklyn, NY in a public project supported by NYC Department of Transportation Art Program and community partners; and at an exit ramp off the Brooklyn Queens Expressway which she transformed into an earthwork. Her work has been supported by Puffin Foundation, Teaneck, NJ; Times Square Alliance, New York; Brooklyn Arts Council, NY; and chashama, New York. Residencies include Wave Hill, Bronx, NY; Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, New York; TYPA, Tartu, Estonia; SPACES, Cleveland, OH; Baxter St at Camera Club of New York; Tokamak at Helsinki International Art Center, Finland; Center for Book Arts, New York; and MacDowell, Peterborough, NH. Writing about her work has appeared in Hyperallergic, New York Magazine, Brooklyn Paper, Washington City Paper, Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, and more.
