Sorted Books, Nina Katchadourian

January 18-February 28, 2010

Colgate University’s Clifford Art Gallery and the Department of Art and Art History will host the exhibition Sorted Books, Nina Katchadourian, January 18 – February 28, 2010. The showing, which is free and open to the public, will feature an artist talk February 4 at 4:30 p.m. in Golden Auditorium of Colgate’s Little Hall, followed immediately by a reception. 

Nina Katchadourian’s work exists in a wide variety of media including photography, sculpture, video and sound. Her work has been exhibited domestically and internationally at places such as PS1/MoMA, the Serpentine Gallery, New Langton Arts, Artists Space, SculptureCenter, and the Palais de Tokyo. In 2006 the Tang Museum organized a 10-year survey of her work with an accompanying monograph entitled All Forms of Attraction. She has also had solo exhibitions at the Turku Art Museum in Turku, Finland of works made in Finland in 2006, and recent video installations at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 2008.

Nina Katchadourian was born in Stanford, California and grew up spending every summer on a small island in the Finnish archipelago, where she still spends part of each year. She received a BFA from Brown University and MFA from the University of California in San Diego. She currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Located on the first floor of Little Hall, the Clifford Art Gallery presents approximately eight exhibitions a year. A teaching gallery, all exhibitions are selected by Colgate’s art and art history faculty to provide examples of work executed in a variety of media that demonstrate issues originating in the academic curriculum. Another focus of the gallery is the display of professional work by contemporary artists, who are often featured in the weekly public lecture series. 

This is an ArtsMix event sponsored by the Institute for the Creative and Performing Arts.

The Clifford is free and open to the public from 10:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. on weekends.
