“I like to create objects that look like furniture, or are furniture-like, and have these anthropomorphic or bodily elements. Placing familiar forms into another context leads to a heightened awareness of ourselves and how we interact with the world.” —Hannah Levy


Artist Hannah Levy merges organic and industrial materials to craft visceral hybrid sculptures that evoke human or animal forms, fashion, and medical apparatuses. In conversation with Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator Dr. Gannit Ankori, Levy will explore how her practice complicates everyday objects into uncanny encounters, inviting viewers to reexamine the relationship between the body and human-made environments.

ABOUT THE ARTIST


Hannah Levy (b. 1991) manipulates texturally incongruous materials, such as silicone, glass, stone, and polished metal, to create tactile sculptures that provoke sensory experience. The artist appropriates commonplace objects and defamiliarizes them by using unexpected materials and warping their formal properties. Levy received a BFA from Cornell University in Ithaca, NY (2013), and a Meisterschüler title from Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, Germany (2015). With recent institutional solo exhibitions at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), CA (2022) and the Arts Club of Chicago, IL (2021), the artist has been included in exhibitions at CCS Bard Hessel Museum, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY; the Rennie Museum, Vancouver, Canada; the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, Ridgefield, CT; MoMA PS1, New York, NY; among others, and was invited to participate in the 59th Venice Biennale (2022) and the 16th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art (2022). Levy’s work is included in public collections including the Nevada Museum of Art, Reno, NV; Moderna Museet, Stockholm, Sweden; the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, Denmark; the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia; the Philara Foundation, Dusseldorf, Germany; and the G2 Kunsthalle, Leipzig, Germany.
