Katie Holten

"In a society that increasingly excludes nature from everyday life, how can today's art engage with the natural landscape? Katie Holten - born 1975 in Dublin and living, nominally, in New York although primarily on the road - is looking for an answer to this question." Noemi Smolik, [http://www.artforum.com ARTFORUM] , September 2007

Motivated by cultural, political, and social circumstances, Holten works in a variety of mediums to calculate meaning in contemporary life. She makes artworks – drawings, installations, sculptures, public art projects, etc. - which are focused on the relationship between the individual and her environment. She places art in landscapes, in public spaces, and in gallery and museum exhibitions. Holten represented Ireland at the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003.
