Rachel Harrison

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rachel Harrison (born 1966, New York) is a sculptor based in New York. Harrison is best known for assemblage work.^[1] Her work juxtaposes contemporary found, purchased, and received items along with objects made for her pieces. Putting these together comments on the temporary nature of the objects combined with the established desire of preservation with art. Her work utilized cultural images similarly to Andy Warhol even using Marilyn Monroe's image within her work.^{[citation needed]}

Harrison's work has been seen in many exhibitions including: ‘Posh Floored as Ali G Tackles Beck’ at Arndt & Partner in Berlin, ‘Should home windows or shutters be required to withstand a direct hit from an eight-foot-long two-by-four shot from a cannon at 34 miles (55 km) an hour, without creating a hole big enough to let through a three-inch (76 mm) sphere?’ at Arena Gallery in Brooklyn, ‘Sleeping Waters’ in Chantal Crousel in Paris and ‘24 Seven’ at Galerie Klaus Peter Goebel in Stuttgart.
