comunicato stampa

Zach Feuer Gallery is pleased to present New York Be Nice, the first solo exhibition of work by Kristen Morgin in New York.
Morgin's show will inaugurate our new 4,800 square foot ground-level space in the historic Dia Building on 22nd Street.

Morgin's sculptures, comprised primarily of fired and unfired clay, are true to scale objects. Her works, which include Wrecked Spyder, a crashed Porsche 550 Spyder, appear to be unearthed or abandoned objects in varying states of ruin. Several sculptures, such as The Repeating Table, which consists of toys, books and comics, present her rendition of an object alongside its original counterpart.

Using unassuming materials to render readily accessible objects, Morgin's work captures the complexity of the present by way of the past. The corroding surfaces of her objects not only capture the here and now but protrude fragility, mortality and decay.

Kristen Morgin was born in 1968 in Brunswick, GA. Her work was featured in Unmonumental at the New Museum in New York, Thing at UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Red Eye at the Rubbell Family Collection in Miami and currently Huckleberry Finn at CCA Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in San Francisco. Morgin lives and works in Gardena, CA.
