Natalia Zubko

Natalia Zubko is a NYC-based sculptor whose inquiries into ‘intimate minimalism’ seeks to activate forgotten spaces through both studio and public practice. Regularly exhibited in New York City, she also curates Brooklyn’s vital ART LOT public gallery space. Zubko is a lecturer at CUNY and faculty at Parsons New School.

Zubko’s work ranges from large, often public, site-responsive environments and sculptures, small, intimate sculptures and collages, and interdisciplinary, multi-media, collaborative commissions and projects. She explores how intimacy can be experienced in vast spaces and vastness experienced in intimate spaces to create both a communal and individual sense of awe and quiet, evoking an intimate minimalism, that allows people to relate attentively to ever-expanding built and social environments.

Her work has been exhibited at non-traditional spaces like loading docks, abandoned lots, and old houses on Governor’s Island, NY to traditional spaces like the Kingsborough Art Museum, Felician University, Susquehanna Art Museum, Boston Public Libraries, and Nurture Art. She was interviewed for the online Arts Journal: Anti Heroin Chic: “Tapping into a Sense of Wonder.”

Natalie Zubko has BA’s in Anthropology and Art History from Brandeis University as well as a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate (Brandeis) and MFA (Parsons) in Fine Arts, Sculpture.
