Artist Statement: Mookntaka (MOO-kin-tah-kah) is a Brooklyn-based artist duo by Mark Zlotsky and Karyn Lao. We believe in art that encourages people of all ages to connect through play. Utilizing mediums associated with arts-and-crafts, rudimentary shapes, and lively colors, we design interactive moments that bring people together. Mookntaka embodies the wonder and whimsical lens we investigate our surroundings with. It serves as a reminder to ourselves and others to find joy in unexpected places and embrace the silliness and curiosity of our inner child.
