Dear Colleagues: I regret to tell you that the lights have dimmed on the life of my friend and the artist and curator Yani Pecanins, noted for her work in the art object, installations and artist's books. Born in 1957 in Mexico City, her training was self-taught. At age 20 she co-founded the independent publisher Cocina Ediciones, dedicated to the edition of artist books, until 1993, as well as in the magazine Paso de Peatones, and later, in 1985, together with Gabriel Macotela and Armando Sáenz with the gallery "El Archivero", which worked until 1993 as a gallery , archiving and promotion of artist books.
