Hayden Dunham USA, b. 1988
Hayden Dunham is an interdisciplinary artist whose sprawling assemblages move from organic to synthetic. Like lines in a poem or lyrics in a song, Dunham’s materials fall into place as a mutable arrangement. Incorporating ephemeral materials such as fog, sound, and light, Dunham activates all of our senses to submerge us within what she describes as a rupture of reality. A meditation on ideas of integration, expansiveness and transformation, Dunham’s ecosystems offer a glimpse beyond what is physically possible.
Recent solo shows include Transmutation, Company Gallery, New York (2022); Burns Blue, Company Gallery, New York (2019); Infinite Lift, Artist Curated Projects, Los Angeles (2021); Inside Darkness There Are No Lines, Times Square Space, New York (2018); and HA: no name no sides :TH at Artspace, Sydney, Australia (2019). Dunham has previously participated in group exhibitions and performances at MoMA PS1, New York; New Museum, New York; Foundation Louis Vuitton, Paris; The Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Andrea Rosen Gallery, New York; Artist Curated Projects, Los Angeles and SIGNAL Gallery, Brooklyn. She was born in 1988, Austin, TX and currently lives and works in New York and Los Angeles.
