Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

STATEMENT OF WORK
Lisa Young is a visual interpreter, sifting through the image sediment. Using appropriation and reframing, Young explores the way repetitive actions, accumulating, and organizing creates a resonant poetics and acts as a cultural mirror. Young deploys her picture archive to produce large scale installations, books, and video projects. Her work juxtaposes images from media culture (TV stills, magazine clippings, laptop screen grabs) - often pictures of women in motion, nature, animals, sports, and scientific charts. She uses a series of small gestures to reveal larger connections between images that would otherwise go overlooked. Young uses lo-fi modes of mechanical reproduction, which complicate the origins of her source material.
