Artist Bios

Brian Tolle has exhibited his work in galleries, museums and public spaces around the world. His projects include, Skid Rows for the Queens Museum to debut in spring of 2005, The wind doth move silently invisibly for Cleveland Public Art (2004), WitchCatcher at City Hall, New York City (2003), the Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park City, New York (2002), Waylay for the Whitney Biennial and the Public Art Fund in Central Park (2002), Man’s Achievement on a Shrinking Globe in an Expanding Universe for Crossing the Line, Queens Museum of Art, New York (2001) and Eureka for Over the Edges Gent, Belgium (2000). His work emphasizes a formal and iconographic dialog with history and context to produce striking and subtle works that engage the public. Using a variety of media, his works draw themes from the scale and experience of their surroundings, provoking a re-reading by cross-wiring reality and fiction. Mr. Tolle received his MFA from Yale University, BFA from Parsons School of Design and his BA from SUNY at Albany. He is currently on the graduate faculty at Parsons School of Design

Paul Pfeiffer’s groundbreaking work in video, sculpture, and photography uses recent computer technologies to dissect the role that mass media plays in shaping consciousness. In a series of video works focused on professional sports events–including basketball, boxing, and hockey–Pfeiffer digitally removes the bodies of the players from the games, shifting the viewer’s focus to the spectators, sports equipment, or trophies won. Presented on small LCD screens and often looped, these intimate and idealized video works are meditations on faith, desire, and a contemporary obsession with celebrity. Pfeiffer is the recipient of numerous awards and fellowships, most notably becoming the inaugural recipient of The Bucksbaum Award given by the Whitney Museum of American Art (2000). In 2002, Pfeiffer was an artist-in-residence at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at ArtPace in San Antonio, Texas. In 2003 a traveling retrospective of his work was organized by the MIT List Visual Arts Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago.

Sharon Harper, Assistant Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies, Harvard university, works with photography and video to record a subjective experience of landscape, exploring ways that technology mediates our relationship with the natural world and generates perceptual experiences. Her work was the subject of a solo exhibition, Sharon Harper: Photographs from the Floating World, at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2001. She has had numerous solo exhibitions. Her work was included in the Greater New York exhibition at PS1, New York, in February 2000; On Site, Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College; Walk Ways, a traveling exhibition sponsored by Independent Curators International; Sublime Metaphor, Oxford University Museum of Natural History; Celestial, Work Space Gallery, New York; Art on Paper, Weatherspoon Art Museum, at the University of North Carolina; and Summertime, smART gallery in Munich, Germany. Her work is in permanent collections at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art; Portland Art Museum, Portland, Oregon; and Bayerische Vereinsbank, Munich, Germany. She has been a fellow at the MacDowell Colony, Ucross Foundation, and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts; she received a Meredith S. Moody Residency Fellowship at Yaddo and the Sam and Dusty Boynton Residency Fellowship at the Vermont Studio Center. Harper received an MFA in photography and related media from the School of Visual Art in New York in 1997 and a BA from Middlebury College in literary studies.

Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle is a professor, Department of Visual Arts, University of Chicago. Born in Madrid, Spain, in 1961, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle was raised in Bogotá Colombia and Chicago, where he currently lives, teaches and maintains a studio. Much of his early work was centered on community, concerned largely with issues of migration and immigration, ethnicity and place. Manglano-Ovalle is engaged in a process of understanding how certain extraordinary forces and systems, man-made and natural, are always and already in the process of remaking the world. Over the course of the last decade, he has worked in a wide range of media-activist-inspired public art, sculpture, film, sound, and photography, all of which fuse the politics of contemporary urban culture with poetic meditations on aesthetics, history, and identity.

Today, the artist continues to embrace the interdisciplinary. Working in collaboration with geneticists, biotech researchers, legal consultants, medical ethicists, architects, composers, writers, historians, and others, Manglano-Ovalle forges a creative enterprise unrivaled among his peers in its scope and complexity. Issues pertaining to personal and collective spaces, the negotiation of borders, and social injustice, which always have been central to his project, are still present. Now, however, the artist treats these concerns in a more abstract fashion, against a larger, metaphorical landscape of passages through time, space, atmosphere, and geography, with their attendant cultures of observation and documentation.

Manglano-Ovalle is the recipient of a 2001 MacArthur Foundation fellowship, and is participating in Documenta 12, 2007.

Oliver Herring is among a select group of contemporary artists rigorously exploring the dynamic relationship between photography and sculpture. Performance is central to his work and practice, such as the process of knitting, and his efforts to combine, layer and piece together photographic fragments into sculptural wholes. His work ranges from ethereal sculptures of Mylar knitted into human figures, clothing, and furniture, to open-ended stop-action videos that embrace chance, stream-of-consciousness, and the unpredictable. Herring was born in Heidelberg, Germany, and now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. He is the recipient of grants from Artspace, The New York Foundation for the Arts, and the Joan Mitchell Foundation. He has had solo exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, among others. top

Paul Ramirez Jonas explores themes of time, expiration and memory which are central to his work. In his projects what looks like invention is but, re-enactment, and what seems exploration is but walking in someone else‚s footsteps. However, not unlike a musician reading from a score or an actor performing from a play, the pre-existence of a text does not preclude passion, enthusiasm, humor and new meanings. He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University. His honors include grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the International Studio Program in Sweden, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts, among others. Ramirez Jonas has upcoming exhibitions in 2007 and 2008 at The Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas; Roger Björkholmen Galleri, Stockholm, Sweden; and The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, Connecticut. top

Steve DiBenedetto’s finely detailed and luxurious work emanates a palpable energy. He is best known for his chromatic topographies of gnarled, tactile layers, which are scraped, gouged, and splattered to electric levels, in limbo between decomposition and unity. His paintings and drawings, described as “cerebral folk art,” are alive with organic and mechanic forms that collide to create improvisational yet obsessive structures. In 2005, he was included in a group exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, “Remote Viewing,” curated by Elisabeth Sussman. DiBenedetto has been the recipient of several awards, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship Award, an American Academy of Arts and Letters Award in Painting, and the Tiffany Foundation Award. He lives in New York City and has taught at Columbia University, Cooper Union, and Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University.

Joanne Greenbaum combines multiple techniques and colors to explore the concept of gesture outside of its expressionistic trope. Her paintings serve as surfaces upon which she performs with paint. “In fact, I make painting by building,” she states. In a 2000 BOMB Artist on Artists piece on Greenbaum, Mary Heilmann mused, “Joanne Greenbaum’s line, especially in her recent paintings, has taken on a life of its own. Freed from the work of defining edges, it has become a figure in itself, a maze, stepping round and round and back and forth, making a deep and psychedelic space. These mazes [give] one the experience of several kinds of space at the same time.”

Joanne Greenbaum shows in NY with D’Amilio Terras, in London, UK with Greengrassi Gallery and in Basel, Switzerland with Nicolas Krupp Gallery. Her paintings were included in The Triumph of Painting, Abstract America at The Saatchi Gallery, London, UK in 2007. In 2008 she will have a solo museum survey at Museum Abteiberg, Monchengladbach, Germany that will travel to Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich, Switzerland.

Greenbaum’s recent awards include: Artist in Residence, The Chinati Foundation, Marfa, TX; The Pollack-Krasner Foundation Grant; The Richard C. Diebenkorn Teaching Fellowship, San Francisco Art Institute; Michael and Nina Sundell Residency for a Visual Artist, Yaddo; Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Faculty/Resident Artist; and Rockefeller Foundation, Bellagio Study and conference center, Bellagio, Italy.
