Kathryne Hall

Kathryne Hall works in public art sculpture and performance addressing themes of sensory perception, architectural function and the instability of the urban environment.  Since 2007 she has produced three solo, multi-location, public installation series in New York City.   Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Time Out New York and on HD Net TV.   She is a recipient of a Brooklyn Arts Council Dept of Cultural Affairs Regrant and the Nera C Scott Art Award.

Originally from Nashville, TN, after receiving her BA in Studio Art from the College of Wooster in 1999, she now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

STATEMENT

My current work is in temporary, public art installations that explore my interest in subverting common urban elements.  These environmental interventions are designed to provoke as well as entertain, leading the viewer to question the function of urban infrastructure and the security of the built environment, consider the mundane as a subject for sculpture, or simply to smile in amusement.
