Lisa Sigal works at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Using materials that are endemic to her work sites, she constructs pieces that insinuate themselves into the fabric of the built environment. The formal and the philosophical stability of structure is one of the principal questions at the heart of her work. Venues at which she has recently exhibited include the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center in Atlanta (Georgia, USA); SculptureCenter and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center (MoMA) in Long Island City (New York); the New Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and Frederieke Taylor Gallery in New York City; and the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield (Connecticut, USA). She received her MFA from the Yale School of Art and her BFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University. A solo exhibition of Sigal’s work will be on view at Noma Gallery in San Francisco from 22 April to 22 May 2010.
