Artist Lecture Series: Rachel Owens

Internationally exhibiting contemporary artist Rachel Owens, who frequently works with broken glass and resin, will speak about her work and process in an Artist's Talk at UrbanGlass on Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 7 PM in the Studio classroom.

Engaged in broad fields of practice from large scale public installations and traditional gallery work to activist based Community Theater, Owens is concerned with issues of hierarchy, social conditions, consumption, the environment and the points where these things intersect. Using objects, video, sound, performance, and even images; materials that once existed with a specific function are reassigned within a new context. By combining incongruous materials and forms, new meaning is created. 

She has been included in exhibitions both in the US and internationally including The X Krasnoyarsk Biennial, Franco Soffiantino Contemporary, Austrian Cultural Forum, The Frist Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, and the New Museum Window among others.  In February 2015 her 5th solo show opened at Zieher Smith and Horton with reviews and inclusion in publications including The New York Times, Art in America, Modern Painters, Flash Art and Triple Canopy Anthology.

Rachel Owens is represented by Zieher Smith & Horton Gallery located in New York City.
