Step into a world where industrial relics are reborn as poignant expressions of contemporary art in Kennedy Yanko’s solo exhibition, “Retro Future,” at Salon 94 from April 5th to May 17th, 2025. Yanko masterfully merges the raw energy of discarded metal with the fluid beauty of her signature “paint skins,” creating sculptures that engage in a profound dialogue between past and future, the organic and the manufactured. This expansive exhibition, taking over all three floors of Salon 94’s Upper East Side townhouse, not only showcases Yanko’s compelling vision but also features “Metal and Memory,” a curated selection of works by influential artists like John Chamberlain, Frank Stella, and Leonardo Drew, offering a rich context for Yanko’s innovative practice. Prepare to be captivated by the intense, graceful, and urgent narratives woven through the very fabric of these transformative sculptures.
