K.R.M. Mooney
Thursday, March 1, 2018
Mooney’s work often inhabits a horizontal position, considering space and its inherited boundaries as an operative body. Their sculptural practice pursues abstraction and the agency of material bodies learned through the processes of jewelry and ornamentation. Using abstract forms that emerge through the interaction of various types of metals and their proximal materials, Mooney uses complex and intricate compositions to re-order our understanding of spatial and co-generative systems. Often positioned on the floor or in doorways, Mooney’s sculptures reorient how our bodies relate to these constructed forms, acknowledging the unseen and the polyvalent to consider issues of difference, embodiment and care.
K.r.m. Mooney was featured in the current group exhibition School of Chairs at The David Ireland House. Solo exhibitions include Carrier at Kunstverein Braunschweig, SECA Art Award Exhibition at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, En, Set at the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts, San Francisco, Oscine at Reserve Ames, Los Angeles, and Near Passerine at Pied-à-terre, Ottsville, Pennsylvania.
