Beside that has to be said: Kopystiansky was born 11 November 1950 in Voronezh, Russia, and from late Seventies till late Eighties was part of a second-generation of "Soviet non-conformist artists" w.[2] In 1979, Svetlana Kopystiansky turned to the avant-garde tradition. Her Correct Figures/Incorrect Figures (1979) commented on the work of Malevich, while White Album (1979) was based on the concept of the “found object” introduced by Marcel Duchamp. The works on paper Plays mimicked Samuel Beckett's deadpan humor and meditations on life's banality and contained a reference to Alexander Rodchenko’s ideas. Kopystiansky started working on her two conceptually and formally related series- Landscapes and Seascapes- in 1980. Both series merge text with image: a closer look at either a landscape or seascape reveals a pattern of handwritten text filling the canvas, with excerpts borrowed from classic authors, such as Leo Tolstoy, Beckett and Paul Eluard.[2][3]
In 1988, she and her husband and collaborator Igor Kopystiansky left the Soviet Union and moved to New York City, which has been their home base since then. In 1990 in New York Svetlana started a new series of large scale sculptures and installation works constructed from editions of books as found objects or readymades. In this group of works real books were placed in wooden boxes in a way that they become visual objects with pages open towards the viewer. For these works were used editions of novels in English. In 1990, Svetlana and Igor Kopystiansky received a DAAD artists-in-residency grant that brought them to Berlin, Germany, and resulted in their first solo museum exhibition with a catalogue, "In the Tradition," curated by René Block for the Berlinische Galerie, Museum of Modern Art, in the Martin Gropius-Bau, Berlin in 1991.[1]
Increasingly the Kopystianskys make video. Their 1996-7 video Incidents, filmed on streets of Chelsea Manhattan was first shown by curator Harald Szeemann in the Lyon Biennale in 1997, meditates on the potential beauty and pathos of discarded objects, as they are balletically blown around by wind along a city street.[4] Later collaborations, such as 2005's Yellow Sound harks back to Svetlana's citations, within her 1980s paintings, of modernist masters. Yellow Sound takes its title from a Wassily Kandinsky theater production, and its silent structure and running time from John Cage's famous composition 4'33" (1952), in which a piano player sits at the keyboard, lift the lid and stay motionless and silent for the next four minutes and thirty-three seconds.[5] A 2006 film installation, Pink & White-A Play in Two Time Directions, features eight projections showing black-and-white found footage, emphasizing their interest in early cinema, and the surrealist graphic intensity of photographer Man Ray.[6] Lisson Gallery in London represented them from 2001 to 2011.
