Yael Frank

An artist and lecturer. Frank’s studio practice is based on sculptural and textual research. Her work draws from traditions of conceptual art, and looks at the relationship between humor and ethics. Frank’s projects dismantle structures of comedy using architecture and public space as their context. 

Frank received her MFA from Bezalel, and her BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art in New York. She is the winner of the Bar-Gil Avidan Keshet Prize from the Hezliyah Museum of Art (2020), as well as The Ingeborg Bachmann Prize Established by Anselm Kiefer from The Wolf Foundation (2017). She is the recipient of project grants from organizations such as Artis, The Ostrovsky Family Fund, and The Rabinovitch Foundation Fund for Art Tel Aviv Special Project Committee among others. 

Frank's work is exhibited internationally, in institutions such as FuturDome Milano, Zachęta National Gallery Warsaw, The Brno House of Art Czech Republic, MWW Wroclaw Contemporary Museum Poland, The Tel Aviv Museum of Art, The Petach Tikvah Museum of Art, The Israeli Center for Digital Arts, CCA Tel Aviv, and more.
