Global InformationFawn Krieger information
Fawn Krieger (born May 8, 1975) is an American interdisciplinary artist who creates discrete sculptures and immersive multi-media environments individually and sometimes in collaboration with other artists and performers, including Neal Medlyn,[1] Tracy + the Plastics,[2] Edwin Torres,[3] and Anna Oxygen.
Often working with a mix of industrial and domestic materials, video and performance, Krieger’s work deals with actions around touch, memory, rupture, and transference as grounds for recovery and re-imagination. Sourcing histories and systems of communal values within material culture, Krieger’s work functions as speculative object-theatres and artifacts, recording corporeal and tactile impressions of social impact, exchange, and revolution.
Krieger’s work has been commissioned and installed at numerous venues, including The Kitchen,[4] Art in General,[5] Nice & Fit Gallery, The Moore Space, Von Lintel Gallery, Galerie West,[6] Soloway Gallery,[7] Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University,[8] Portland Institute for Contemporary Art,[9] Human Resources Los Angeles,[10] Fleisher-Ollman Gallery,[11] and Lambretto ArtProject[12]
Krieger was born in Port Jefferson, NY, and currently lives in New York City. She received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School of Design, and a Master of Fine Arts from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.[13] Krieger's work has been written about in The New York Times,[14] Sculpture Magazine,[15] Artforum,[16] Art in America,[17] BOMB,[18] as well as The Brooklyn Rail,[19] and she is the recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award,[20] an Art Matters Foundation Grant,[21] and a Jerome Foundation grant.[22] Krieger has taught in the art departments of Virginia Commonwealth University[23] and Adelphi University.
