Fawn Krieger

Fawn Krieger (b. 1975) is a NYC-based artist, whose works examine themes of touch, agency, and transmission. She received her MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts, and a BFA from Parsons School of Design. Her work has been exhibited at The Kitchen, Art in General, Nice & Fit Gallery, The Moore Space, Von Lintel Gallery, the Rose Art Museum at Brandeis University, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Human Resources, Fleisher/Ollman Gallery, Real Art Ways, Soloway Gallery, and Neon>fdv. Her work has been featured in the New York Times, Artforum, Art in America, Sculpture Magazine, NY Arts, Flash Art, BOMB, and Texte zur Kunst. Krieger has received grants from Art Matters Foundation, The Jerome Foundation, The John Anson Kittredge Educational Fund, and is a 2019 Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Award Fellow.

For the past five years Krieger has been working with fired and wet, sometimes dyed cement—studying a vocabulary of haptic pressure, processes of fusion and displacement, as well as the impact caused by the soft collision of material bodies. Situated on the threshold between artwork and concrete artifact, the series stores memories of environmental and corporeal events, encircling phenomena of bonding, surrender, and dispersal. The physical works exist alongside an archive of videos documenting their production through acts of pressing, pushing, as well as moments of overflow, extraction, and ossification.
