Elliott Hundley will lead a private tour of his studio in conversation with Bryan Barcena, Assistant Curator and Manager of Publications at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Elliott Hundley’s practice integrates photography, painting, collage, sculpture, performance, and drawing. Utilizing a myriad of diverse materials, he creates sculptures that hang from the ceiling, extend off the wall, or exist as freestanding objects. Mining the nostalgic and diverse qualities of his eclectic and quotidian materials, Hundley melds the familiar with the foreign in a layered and translucent world. These precarious, intricate, and multi-layered works are composed as a web of interconnections that create a wondrous and fragmented tableaux. Each artwork is an investigation into the material process and the resulting formal tension and visual narrative that unfolds.
Regen Projects will present a solo exhibition of Hundley’s work in May 2019. He had his first solo exhibition at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles in 2006. In 2011 a major exhibition entitled, Elliott Hundley: The Bacchae, was on view at the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, and traveled to the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas. He was recently included in the 7th Moscow International Biennale of Contemporary Art, 2017- 2018. His work is included in the permanent collections of many museums, such as the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Istanbul Museum of Modern Art, Istanbul; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; Louisiana Art Museum, Denmark; Museum of Modern Art, New York; Nasher Sculpture Center; Dallas; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; among others.
