Artist Kon Trubkovich uses recollection as the primary source material for his works on paper, paintings, and videos. Drawing from subconscious references, deteriorated home footage, and recorded history, his work reflects moments warped by both time and antiquated technology. He has exhibited nationally at P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center, New York, NY; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL; and United Artists, Ltd., Marfa, TX; among others; and internationally at Kunstmuseum Bern, Bern, Switzerland; the Athens Biennial of Contemporary Art, Athens, Greece; and The Garage Center for Contemporary Sculpture, Moscow, Russia, to name a few. His work is in numerous permanent collections. Born in Moscow, Russia, Trubkovich lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
