Seattle, WA
Artist-in-Resident: July – August 2011

Casey Curran’s interactive sculptures center around the underlying structure of life systems. Highlighting semiotic relationships and Structuralist philosophy, he creates sculptures through physically moving archetypes and naturally bound forms. Associations between literature, philosophy, nature and sexuality are often the focus of these kinetic environments.

Curran graduated from Cornish College of the Arts in 2006, majoring in painting and sculpture. Since graduation he has continuously exhibited work producing a new body of work each year. He has received various awards and grants in artistic merit creating work for both public and private collections. In late 2008, he began collaborating with the performance art group Implied Violence, creating sculptures utilized in both national and international performances. Most recently he has exhibited these sculptures at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, WA and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
