Opening October 31, 6—9pm Since the late 1980s, Los Angeles-based artist Margaret Honda (*1961, San Diego) has developed a sculptural practice in which the historicity of objects, autobiography and process function as working materials. The basic premise of rearranging things—scale, concepts, functions—and a reconsideration of production methods and their protocols undergirds all her work regardless of the medium she deploys. Sculpture, film and drawing are media through which she examines the material basis of her output and interrogates the processes by which objects are made, presented and seen. Margaret Honda's selected solo exhibitions include the Art Institute of Chicago (2023), Carnegie Museum of Art (2019), KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2017), and Künstlerhaus Bremen (2016). Her films have screened at festivals and museums including the Centre Pompidou, Paris Cinémathèque Française, Paris, Harvard Film Archive, Courtisane Festival, REDCAT Los Angeles, and Berlin International Film Festival. Margaret Honda is a 2022 Guggenheim Fellow. Her forthcoming exhibitions include Galerie Molitor, Berlin in fall 2024 and Fondazione Morra Greco, Naples. Her work is held in numerous public collections including Carnegie Museum of Art, Centre national des arts plastiques, and FRAC Lorraine.
