Born in Buenos Aires in 1974, Tamara Kostianovsky is an Argentine-American artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. She received her BFA from the Prilidiano Pueyrredón National School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires and her MFA from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. Working exclusively with discarded clothing and reclaimed textiles, Kostianovsky constructs sculptures and installations that occupy the threshold between the visceral and the delicate—evoking flesh, botanical life, and ecological systems in equal measure. Her practice proposes fabric as a living material: each piece bears the visible evidence of its own labor, cut, stitched, suspended, and layered until the fabric is fully transformed into something that no longer belongs to the human body, yet cannot be separated from it. The work operates across registers of violence and tenderness, mortality and regeneration, framing consumer culture and ecological collapse through the intimate language of clothing. Kostianovsky is a Guggenheim Fellow and the recipient of grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, and the Virginia A. Groot Foundation. Her recent solo exhibitions include Phantom Limbs at Art Yard Center, Frenchtown (2026); Moved by Forces at SLAG&RX, New York (2025); A Fleur de Peau at RX&SLAG, Paris (2025); Cheekwood Estate and Gardens, Nashville (2025); La Chair du Monde at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature, Paris (2024)—her first major French retrospective; Botanical Revolution at the Baker Museum, Naples (2023–2024); and Renewal: Sculptures at the Denver Botanic Gardens (2023), OGDEN Contemporary Arts (2023), Smack Mellon, New York (2021) among many other. Her work has been presented in group exhibitions at the Mauritshuis Museum, The Hague; the Royal Academy of Arts, London; the Brooklyn Museum, New York; the Columbia Museum of Art, SC; the Brandywine Art Museum, PA; the Fuller Craft Museum; the Newport Art Museum; the Chicago Architecture Biennial; Rockefeller Center, New York;  the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Banff, among others. Forthcoming institutional presentations include a solo exhibition at the Musée privé d'Éric Jacquelet in the context of the Biennale de Lyon (September 2026); the Musée des Confluences, Lyon (September 2026); and the Akureyri Art Museum, Iceland (2027). Tamara Kostianovsky's work has been widely reviewed and featured in major international art, cultural, and design publications, including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Art in America, Hyperallergic, The Boston Globe, WBUR, Village Voice, Marie Claire, La Repubblica, Connaissance des Arts, Le Quotidien de l'Art, ARTISTIK REZO, Madame Figaro, L'Obs (Le Nouvel Observateur), and Architectural Digest, among others. Her practice has received sustained critical attention for its exploration of sculpture, textiles, ecology, violence, consumer culture, and the body, particularly in connection with her institutional exhibitions in the United States and France.
