WorkSpace: Lisi Raskin

Brooklyn–based artist Lisi Raskin presents Armada, a series of new sculptures based on the forms she found at the Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group (AMARG), a storage facility for military airplanes and aerospace crafts located at Davis–Monthan Air Force Base near Tucson, Arizona. Raskin visited the site while traveling to nuclear testing sites across the United States for the project Mobile Observation (Transmitting and Receiving) Station. Working with zones of power like military defense systems, Raskin investigates a culture of anxiety stemming from the Cold War and resonating with our current cultural and political climate. Born in Miami, Florida in 1974, Raskin received her MFA from Columbia University in 2003. She has since exhibited internationally in solo and group exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, Glasgow, Milan and Stockholm.
