industrial architecture […] The work neatly collapses all kinds of seemingly contradictory elements: its precisely scooped out negative forms, carved out with a router, fuse an aesthetic of the machines and the handmade, while its wraparound sequences conjure a narrative that is both linear and circuitous."
Kate Grinnan received an MFA in Sculpture from University of California, Los Angeles, and is represented by ACME (Los Angeles). She has exhibited work at venues such as the UCLA Hammer Museum, Exit Art (New York), and the Museum of Contemporary Art (Tuscon, Arizona). By combining photographs, found objects, and artificial materials Grinnan creates sculptures that mimic and exploit natural environments.
Alice Konitz received an MFA from Calarts. Her recent show at Chicagoprojectroom received reviews in Artext (Malik Gaines, May/July, 2002, no. 73) and Artforum (Bruce Hainley, April, 2001, pp.143-144). "Like many of the best young sculptors in Los Angeles, Konitz uses the medium to investigate the relation between actual space and represented or mental space, to diagram and coordinate these different but complexly related kinds of space. Developing what could be seen as an idiosynchratic vocabulary of materials (styrofoam, candles, wax drippings, cardboard) and concerns (architecture/sculpture, chance accumulations/grids), Konitz pitches her formal investigations to allow her work to resonate poetically. . ."
