Hannah Greely

Last updated

Hannah Greely (born 1979) is an American mixed media artist. She mainly creates site-specific sculptural works that seek to redefine the boundary between art and life. [1] Her sculptures are colorful and often replicate ordinary objects or subjects, with subtle incongruencies in material or form. [2] Her material experimentations lend the work an uncanny quality, as recognizable objects fade from real to fictional. [3] Greely’s work explores open dialogue between object and environment, as well as the theatrical otherness of sculpture. [4]

Lisa Lapinski is an American visual artist who creates dense, formally complex sculptures which utilize both the language of traditional craft and advanced semiotics. Her uncanny objects interrogate the production of desire and the exchange of meaning in an image-based society. Discussing a group show in 2007, New York Times Art Writer Holland Cotter noted, "An installation by Lisa Lapinski carries a hefty theory- studies title: 'Christmas Tea-Meeting, Presented by Dialogue and Humanism, Formerly Dialectics and Humanism.' But the piece itself just looks breezily enigmatic." It is often remarked that viewers of Lapinski's sculptures are enticed into an elaborate set of ritualistic decodings. In a review of her work published in ArtForum, Michael Ned Holte noted, "At such moments, it becomes clear that Lapinski's entire systemic logic is less circular than accumulative: What at first seems hermetically sealed is often surprisingly generous upon sustained investigation." Lapinski's work has been exhibited widely in the US and Europe, and she was included in the 2006 Whitney Biennial.
