MATTHEW MONAHAN
B. 1972 in Eureka, California, lives in Los Angeles
It's interesting to see how inanimate the figure can be, how figurative art dies, how it scars, how it shatters into mere things, how it turns to dust . . . |

THOMAS HOUSEAGO
B. 1972 in Leeds, England, lives in Los Angeles
Our generation sees modernist art through the lens of pop culture, not the other way around. |
Program:
This spring's Public Art Fund Talks series features three artists whose works reinvent and extend the language of figurative sculpture for a new era. Neither literal portraits nor traditional monuments, their works push the expressive potential of sculptural forms and materials, marking a renewed interest in the figure in contemporary art. Public Art Fund Talks are organized by the Public Art Fund in collaboration with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at The New School.
Statuesque:
Huma Bhabha, Thomas Houseago, and Matthew Monahan are included in the upcoming Public Art Fund exhibition Statuesque. Pawel Althamer, Aaron Curry and Rebecca Warren are also featured. Statuesque opens June 2, 2010 at City Hall Park.
