Pulitzer Arts Foundation surveys four decades of artmaking by Montserrat-born, British artist Veronica Ryan, known for her singular ability to convert the most common of materials and objects into revelatory works of art.
As Ryan’s first comprehensive solo exhibition in the U.S., Veronica Ryan: Unruly Objects is co-organized by the Pulitzer and the Wexner Center for the Arts. The exhibition is curated by Tamara H. Schenkenberg, Curator, with Molly Moog, Curatorial Assistant, Pulitzer Arts Foundation.
Among more than a hundred sculptures, textiles, and works on paper will be objects made of traditional art materials—i.e., bronze, marble, and plaster—as well as others sourced from such unexpected everyday items as seeds, pods, mango stones, orange peels, bandages, and plastic bottles. Ryan’s thoughtful reuse of organic materials in combination with mass-produced items suggests concerns around excess and consumption while also recognizing the unrealized potential of discarded objects.
