Tamara Kostianovsky, fabric beef

Born in Jerusalem, raised in Buenos Aires, and now a New Yorker, Tamara Kostianovsky (who also coincidentally married my artist friend from high school, Mark Stafford, previously mentioned here) uses fabric in her series “Actus Reus” to create amazingly anatomically correct slabs of butchered meat. Her sculpture “Persistence of Agony” is currently on display at Socrates Sculpture Park, a formerly abandoned illegal dumpsite transformed into an outdoor museum and exhibition space located in Long Island City, Queens.
