artist_biographical note:
Maureen Connor is a visual artist whose work combines elements of installation, video, design, human resources and social justice. Since 2000 she has been developing Personnel, a series of interventions concerned with the art institution as a workplace, which explore the attitudes, needs and desires of the staff at various institutions. Personnel and related projects have been produced for a diverse group of venues that include Periferic 8 Biennial for Contemporary Art, Romania, the Department of Art and Design, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, 2008, Glyndor Gallery, Wave Hill, Bronx, NY, 2006; Wyspa Art Institute, Gdansk, Poland, 2004-7; Tapies Foundation, Barcelona, 2003; and the Queens Museum of Art, New York, 2001 among others. Currently she is working on an installation of Personnel for the Centre de Recherche en Droit Public, a think tank at the University of Montreal, as well as a book on Personnel to be published jointly by Wyspa Art Institute, Gdansk, Poland and Revolver Press, Frankfurt, Germany. She is also known internationally for her work from the 80s and 90s, which focused on gender and its modes of representation (from venues such as the MAK, Vienna; Portikus, Frankfurt; ICA, Philadelphia; and the Whitney Biennial among many others). Her projects have received funding from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, The New York Foundation for Artists and the Professional Staff Congress of the City University of New York. She received her MFA from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York in 1973 and has been Professor of Art at Queens College of the City University of New York since 1990.

artist_biographical note:
Exhibition catalgue for 'Everything That Rises Must Converge, 2010. Petah Coyne, referred to as "the queen of mixed media" by Artforum, is a contemporary sculptor and photographer working in innovative and disparate materials. Ranging from the organic to the ephemeral, her works incorporate dead fish, mud, sticks, hay, black sand, specially-formulated and patented wax, satin ribbons, velvet, silk flowers, and more recently, taxidermy and cast wax statues. Coyne's most recent solo exhibition, "Everything That Rises Must Converge," at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MASS MoCA), in 201011, featured large mixed-media sculptures and silver gelatin prints mainly from the last ten years. Director of MASS MoCA, Joseph C. Thompson, states in the introduction to the exhibition catalogue that Coyne's world is "a world of dense, enfolding forces, a world in which rising from the surface takes one inwards to some dark, ultimate center." Her work is in numerous permanent museum collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia; SFMOMA, San Francisco; Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City; Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati; and the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Finland, among others. Select awards include the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Award, The Rockefeller Foundation Award, three National Endowment for the Arts Awards, Pollock-Krasner Foundation Award, The Joan Mitchell Foundation Award, Asian Cultural Center Award, New York Foundation for the Arts Award, Anonymous Was A Woman Award, Augustus Saint-Gaudens Memorial Foundation Award, Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities Awards, and the Art Matters Award. Born in Oklahoma City in 1953, Coyne currently lives in New York and is represented by Galerie Lelong, New York.
