Kirsten Hassenfeld received a B.F.A from Rhode Island School of Design (Providence, RI) and a M.F.A from the University of Arizona (Tuscon, AZ). Selected exhibitions include The Brooklyn Museum of Art (Brooklyn, NY), White Columns (New York, NY) and PS1 (Long Island City, NY). Awards include a 2009 NYFA grant in sculpture and a 2006 Pollock-Krasner Grant.
Influenced by the decorative arts of the 18th and 19th century, Kirsten Hassenfeld creates objects, drawings and environments that reflect on humankind’s relationship to the material world, both fabricated and natural. In ten years of paper works, she used forms from jewelry, architecture, and landscape to build fantasy structures that evoke a world of plentitude and fragility. In more recent works, Hassenfeld has focused on the motifs of historic ceramic traditions, as they translate the natural world into something more stylized and tame, creating giant paper beaded structures that resemble giant flow-blue or Delftware pieces. In her most current work, the artist continues to play with scale and surprise as she builds intricate sculptures that resemble turned wood and ivory forms from stacks of buttons, bottlecaps and other throw-away items.
