Russian artist Yulia Brodskaya creates playful illustrations, installations and paper cut works using a unique method she developed after leaving her graphic design job in 2006. The artist rolls tiny strips of colorful paper into spirals that she aggregates into larger shapes, creating textural works that lie somewhere on the horizon between two and three dimensions. Her whimsical, springy work invites a sense of optimism. While paper cut art is typically a small-scale medium, Brodskaya often creates mural-sized artworks and installations for commercial clients, using paper to transform rigid spaces into fantastical realms.

Scarce had she said These breathless words when a voice deep and dread As that of MONKER waking up the dead From their first sleep— so startling ‘twas to both— Rang thro’ the casement near, “Thy oath! thy oath!”

Edward Corbould, from Lalla Rookh, an oriental romance, by Thomas Moore, London, 1853.

Yoko Ono performing 'Cut Piece' (1965)

Vilified and blamed for breaking up the Beatles, Yoko Ono's art, which discusses ideas of communication, sexuality and human interaction, is often overlooked.

Kneeling in a submissive poe on the ground, Yoko invited audience members to come forward and cut pieces off he dress. Although beginning politely, it soon became more and more threatening, with audience members cutting larger ad larger pieces and one man holding the scissors above her head. Finally, a man cut open her bra straps, leaving her near naked on the floor.

"It always draws something out of people. At Carnegie Hall, it seemed to draw violence out of the audience, like a poison. It is a frightening piece to perform. Very tense, but I wanted to show that we have to trust each other."
