Demetrius Oliver (b. 1975, Brooklyn, NY) has become known for creating elegant, improvisatory, site-specific installations using photography, sculpture and video to record the act of sidereal observation itself. His work draws heavily on a variety of disparate intellectual interests related to interpreting phenomena, including American transcendentalism, music of the spheres, and the history of cosmology, weaving them into spectacular, cohesive works of self-exploration and expression. Relying on ordinary materials and found imagery, Oliver creates artwork that brings visual form to the processes of exploration and experimentation referencing musical, scientific and literary materials. Oliver received a B.F.A. from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1998 an M.F.A from the University of Pennsylvania in 2004, and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2004. From 2004 to 2006 he was an artist resident at the Core Program in Houston, TX and in 2006 an artist-in-residence at The Studio Museum, Harlem. Oliver was a Light Work (Syracuse, NY) artist-in-residence in 2009. His work has been exhibited widely, with recent solo exhibitions at the Print Center in Philadelphia (2014), D’Amelio Terras in New York (2011 and 2008), Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA (2009), and The Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston (2006). In September 2010 Oliver completed a commission for the High Line in New York, which included a 25 by 75 foot billboard, musical performances, and stargazing. His work has been reviewed in Art in America, The Village Voice, The New Yorker, Art Lies, The Brooklyn Rail, Artforum, and The New York Times, among other publications. |
He is represented by Inman Gallery in Houston and Lucien Terras.
