Alina Tenser is a Ukrainian born artist currently living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Working across sculpture, performance, and video, she makes propositions that elicit physical activation, play, and transference. Utilizing industrial and domestic materials and processes she reimagines taken-for-granted social and material relations; mining the entanglements of her experience as an immigrant and parent. Tenser is currently an Assistant Professor at Lehigh University.

________________

Purvai Rai is an artist, researcher, and educator whose practice engages Punjab as an evolving social archive shaped by extraction, labor, memory, and repair. Working across painting, sculpture, installation, textiles, sound, video, and artist books, she investigates how soil, water, food systems, architecture, and governance shape relationships between land, labor, and community.

Through long-term fieldwork, oral histories, archival research, and collaboration, Rai applies an interrogative methodology extending the dialogues on contemporary archaeology where her material knowledge treats Punjab as a living archive with personal narratives intersecting a thinking visuality of broader histories of colonialism, Partition, migration, environmental change, and cultural inheritance.

Alongside her studio practice, she has taught and lectured at Yale School of Art, CEPT University, and Srishti Institute of Art, Design and Technology.

Open Studios with A.L. Steiner and William Lamson

22 Aug 2026 | 1-4 PM | Free

Join us for open studios with our Artists in Residence: A.L. Steiner and William Lamson. Peek into their studios and chat with them about their practices. Light refreshments will be provided.

https://www.kinosaito.org/current-resident-artists

A.L. Steiner (b. 1967 in Miami, Florida) is this year’s awardee from the Yale School of Art and KinoSaito Artist in Residence Partnership Program. Steiner utilizes constructions of photography, video, installation, collage, performance, writing, and curatorial work as seductive tropes channeled through the sensibility of a skeptical q***r ecofeminist androgyne.

William Lamson is an interdisciplinary artist whose diverse practice involves working with elemental forces to create durational performative actions. Set in landscapes as varied as New York’s East River and Chile’s Atacama Desert, his projects reveal the invisible systems and forces at play within these sites.
