The Jack Hanley Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibit of work by Andy Coolquitt. The show will
include new work by the Austin, TX and New York-based sculptor.
Coolquitt reconstructs found objects into illuminated installations that suggest their own quiet
universe. These stark sculptures, fashioned from of old pipes and urban debris, together create a
minimal interior setting that call to mind “temporary living spaces“ and a kind of make-shift
domesticity. Despite their humble origins, the pieces of “trash” are utterly transformed under
Coolquitt’s formal hand. With an almost architectural approach, the artist reinvigorates the discarded
materials with new purpose and context. His work is known for blending the realms of urban
landscapes, architecture, and sculpture.
This is Andy Coolquitt’s first show at Jack Hanley Gallery. He is represented by Lisa Cooley Gallery in
New York, where he was exhibited in a solo show, iight, in 2008. Coolquitt received his BFA from the
University of Texas and attend UCLA and University of Texas, Austin graduate programs.
