Fawn Krieger

Fawn Krieger (American: b. 8 May 1975) is an 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] 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,[3] Art in General,[4] Nice & Fit Gallery, The Moore Space, Von Lintel Gallery, Galerie West,[5] Soloway Gallery,[6] Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University,[7] Portland Institute for Contemporary Art,[8] Human Resources Los Angeles,[9] Fleisher-Ollman Gallery,[10] and Lambretto ArtProject[11]

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.[12] Krieger's work has been written about in the pages of The New York Times,[13] Sculpture Magazine,[14] Artforum,[15] Art in America,[16] as well as The Brooklyn Rail,[17] and she is the recipient of a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award,[18] an Art Matters Foundation Grant,[19] and a Jerome Foundation grant.[20] Krieger has taught in the art departments of Virginia Commonwealth University[21] and Adelphi University.
