ANNA GARNER

January 11 - February 15

Opening reception with the artist on Saturday, March 8th from 5 to 8pm

Anna Berenice Garner’s practice combines sculpture, performance, and photography; her work includes geometric sculptures built to her body’s proportions and photographs of constructed landscapes made from wood and paper. Referencing histories of geometric abstraction and landscape photography, Anna examines how these genres both defined and questioned socio-spatial relationships. Designing space through the artist’s own physicality and frame of reference, Anna investigates her body’s gains and losses over uncertain surroundings. The hypothetical landscapes and forms use the malleability of photographic truth to author new structures and organizations of spatiality, finding new ways to inhabit and sense the physical world.

Born in New York (1982) and raised in San Diego, Anna currently lives in México City. One person exhibitions of her work have been presented at Lighthouse Works, Fisher’s Island, NY (2022); ltd los angeles, Los Angeles, CA (2019); And Phoenix Center for the Arts, Phoenix, AZ (2015). Anna’s work has been included in thematic exhibitions at Guadalajara90210, Mexico City, MX (2022), Simone Subal Gallery, New York, NY (2021), Museum aan de Stroom, Antwerp, Belgium (2019); The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC (2019); and Phoenix Art Museum, Phoenix, AZ (2016). In 2015 she was a recipient of the Phoenix Art Museum’s Contemporary Forum Artist Grant and has participated in residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (2014), Bemis Center for Contemporary Art (2016), and Art OMI (2019). Her work is held in the collections of The San Diego Museum of Art (San Diego, CA), The Federal Reserve Board (Washington DC), The Museum of Fine Arts Houston (Houston, TX) and The National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington DC).
