Lauren McKeon (b.1983) received her MFA from San Francisco State University in 2014. Coming from a background in dance, McKeon’s work is made as an ensemble. Using materials at hand, objects are built to be just functional enough. Sculptures are props, framing questions about performance and absence. Her work has been included in exhibitions at Laurel Gitlen (New York) and Fused Space (San Francisco). She was an Artist in Residence at Headlands Center for the Arts from 2015 - 2017. McKeon’s work is in the public collection of Deutsche Bank (New York). She is the creator and editor of SPLITS, a publication to support new collaborations between dancers and visual artists. Her work has been written about by KQED Arts, Artnews, Curiously DIrect and the East Bay Express. McKeon will have a solo show at Land and Sea, (Oakland) in May 2018. In September, she will be in a group show at Interface with Yevgeniya Baras, Mindy Rose Schwartz and Sahar Khoury, McKeon will have her second solo show at Interface Gallery in March 2019. (Full CV)
