Rachel Harrison (New York, 1966) is considered to be one of the most influential sculptors of her generation. Since the 1990s she has been developing a highly recognizable idiom in which she incorporates objects (‘ready-mades’) into colourful, mostly abstract sculptures. They subversively confront visual languages from art history and pop culture with the notions of our present consumer society.
Harrison’s blend of art history references and pop culture takes the form of both grotesque spatial structures and powerful two-dimensional assemblages. The S.M.A.K. is presenting sculptures and drawings from a recent series entitled ‘The Help’ (2012), the large-scale installation ‘Incidents of Travel in Yucatan’ (2011) and her photographic ‘Sunset Series’ (2000-2012).
