Yael Frank is a multi-disciplinary artist working mainly in sculpture and video. Her satiric projects argue for an anthropomorphic presence of political and emotional speech that is embedded in found objects of cultural insignificance. Frank employs comedic strategies to expose multiple points of view on the precarious state of ethical concepts, while testing the seriousness of political ethos by orchestrating situations that are physically beyond language.
Frank is the recipient of awards and grants such as the Anslem Kiefer Award by the Wolf Fund, The Keshet Award for Contemporary Art, the Artis Project Grant, The Ostrovsky Family Fund Grant, and the Rabinovitch Foundation Fund for Art, among others. Her work was shown in institutions such as The Herzliya Museum of Contemporary Art, The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, House of Art Brno, FuturDome Milano, Zachęta National Gallery of Art Warsaw, Wroclaw Contemporary Museum, The Center for Digital Art, and more. Her recent residencies include the International Curatorial and Studio Residency (ISCP) in NY, and the Artport Artist Residency Program in Tel Aviv. Most recently she was commissioned to produce a site-specific art project that was sent to the International Space Station in space.
