About the Item

Jo Yarrington has always been interested in chance and the found {moment, object, person}. How random experiences click in to place, form a narrative, reveal a truth. All the work being shown in the current exhibition, Radical Women: Seeing Red at ODETTA has happened while fully or partially sheltering in place, in my kitchen, on the street, indirectly or sometimes overtly informed by the most wonderful, intimate, powerful conversations on the London Calling Collective's weekly Zoom chats. In site-specific exhibitions, public art commissions, prints, works on paper, installations and collaborative projects artist Jo Yarrington uses varied combinations of glass, waxed surfaces, found objects and experimental analog photography to investigate the way we perceive objects and images through our senses. These predominately translucent materials function as both a physical framework and symbolic membrane. Jo Yarrington is and artist, educator and curator. She has been in over 250 solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Germany, Italy, Scotland, Mexico, Iceland and China. She has been a recipient of grants and fellowships from the Pollock Krasner Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the MacDowell Colony, SIMS Residency/ Iceland, Cill Rialaig Artists Residency/Ireland, the Museum of Glass Artist Residency, Ucross Artist Residency, the Museum of American Glass Artist Residency, the American Scandinavian Foundation and the Virginia Center for Creative Arts, among others. She represented the United States at the Sharjah Biennial, United Arab Emirates and participated in the Berlin Biennial. in 2010 she won the Bronze Prize at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Skopje, Macedonia. Jo Yarrington lives and works in New York City.
