Bruce Yonemoto has developed a body of work which positions itself within the overlapping intersections of art and commerce, of the gallery world and the cinema screen. His recent work deals with the discovery of the real and poetic convergence of two phenomena specific, as he sees it, to Argentina: it’s the site both of one of the few growing glaciers in the world and of the last growing Lacanian psychoanalytic practice. Yonemoto has been honored with awards and grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Film Institute, the Rockefeller Foundation, and, for experimental film and video, the Maya Deren Award. His installations, photographs, and sculptures have recently been featured in solo shows at the InterCommunication Center in Tokyo, the Institute of Contemporary Art in Philadelphia, and the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. He has had solo exhibitions at Alexander Gray Associates in NYC, Blum & Poe in Los Angeles, and Tomio Koyama Gallery in Tokyo. Yonemoto’s work was featured in the exhibition Los Angeles 1955–85: The Birth of an Art Capital at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. He has also exhibited at the Generali Foundation in Vienna and the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. Yonemoto’s work will be featured at the 2008 Gwangju Biennial in South Korea. He is a professor in and the chair of the department of Studio Art at UC Irvine.
