Ashley Zelinskie is a Brooklyn-based conceptual artist utilizing a post-New Media approach, wherein the media employed are merely vehicles in service of underlying concepts. She is attempting the process of translating our vast history into an eternal and universal language, while focusing a lens on our place as a small part of a larger whole. Her works span a variety of media, from large- and small-scale sculpture to canvas and print works, each created using cutting edge technology such as 3D printing, computer-guided laser cutting, and satellite plating technology. Her work focuses on visualizing data in abstract forms and finding new and interesting ways to describe complex ideas.
Zelinskie’s work has been featured in Vice, Brooklyn Magazine, The New York Times, and Hyperallergic. Her work forms part of the permanent collection of the Art in Embassies Program of the US Department of State and has been exhibited at Sotheby’s New York and most recently at the ArtScience Museum in Singapore. Zelinskie is a former resident of New Inc. – the New Museum’s Art and Technology Incubator – and the Shapeways’ “Out of Hand” exhibition residency in partnership with the Museum of Art and Design. She is the director of The Active Space studios and gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn, a founding member of the Lady Tech Guild – a collective supporting women in STEAM – and a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design.
