Blair Academy Faculty Show Featuring Nina Yuen
October 3-29, 2011

This year’s faculty show featured the work of Nina Yuen, director of video studies at Blair, who approaches video as a tactile medium. She notes that her “seductively honest and visually striking narratives weave elements of her personal relationships with found stories and appropriated personae.” Nina adds, “My films are unabashedly romantic and quietly profound assemblages of performance, spoken monologue, soundtrack and montage, which create a flux of vivid imagery and feeling.” Her films have been shown at exhibitions in Amsterdam, Brazil and Spain, as well as in Miami, Florida, and Portland, Oregon.

Nina completed her B.A. at Harvard University and a residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. Her recent exhibitions include “An Imaginary Relationship with Ourselves”, Portland Institute of Contemporary Art, Oregon; “Performance”, Manifestacao Internacional, Belo Horizonte, Brazil; “The Sky Within My House”, Contemporary Art Patios, Cordoba, Spain; “White Blindness”, Lombard-Freid Projects, New York, New York. Her exhibition entitled “Lucid Dreaming” is currently showing at Stedelijk Museum Schiedam. Please click here for a preview of that show.
