The sculptural practice of Yeni Mao engages in issues of fragmentation through equations of body and architecture. Mao pits the physical and psychological properties of restraint, domination and order against the chaos of the visceral human condition. The works are cyborg constructions. They play with architectonic suggestiveness, placing importance on the negative space, the absence, through a circumstantial framework. Various components and visual languages- expressions of craft, material building systems and modes of display- provide a sounding board of information. Working with the agency of materials, objects and building systems, Mao emphasizes the tension between both their embedded and perceived significance. In an ongoing dialogue with the significance of material production history, the alteration of those materials becomes a medium for language or narrative. Mao layers his own personal histories over the expansiveness of these concerns, most recently the projects are based in family mythologies. He consistently references his surroundings, drawing from the colonial amalgamation of processes and materials and their relationship with contemporary object production. Through fragmentation and de-contextualization, exploding the construction into components, Yeni Mao links our own personal cultural fusion and displacement with the way we construct our environment. Yeni Mao (born in United States) earned a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, subsequently trained in the foundry and architecture industry in California and New York. In 2016 Mao relocated to Mexico City. Yeni Mao’s work has recently been featured in solo exhibitions such as Yerba Mala at Campeche in Mexico City, I desire the strength of nine tigers at Fierman Gallery, New York, and a public sculpture with Brooke Benington in London. Among the group exhibitions he has participated in are Otrxs Mundxs at Museo Tamayo in Mexico City, The Disorganized Body at Zeller van Almsick in Vienna and The Hearing Trumpet at Galerie Marguo in Paris; and The IX Bienal De Artes Visuales Nicaraguenses in Nicaragua. Mao is a recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant 2021. Mao’s work has been written about in Art in America, The New York Times, Time Out New York, The Advocate, and The Village Voice. ...
