LISA LAPINSKI

Houston, Texas - Sculpture, Installation - 3rd floor studio

Lisa’s residency work is comprised of five to six new mixed-media sculptures, which will be informed by research into elementary school classrooms and plant shops in Seoul, South Korea, where she produced models for the sculptures this summer.

Lisa Lapinski earned a BA from UCSD (1990) and an MFA from the Art Center College of Design (2000). She lives and works in Houston, Texas, and is currently an associate professor of art at Rice University, where she teaches undergraduate sculpture. Miss Swiss, a co-publication between the Visual Arts Center at the University of Texas at Austin and Inventory Press, Los Angeles, her most comprehensive monograph to date, was recently released. The book includes contributions by Bruce Hainley, Graham Bader, Kyle Dancewicz, Sabrina Tarasoff, and MacKenzie Stevens, as well as a conversation between the artist and Viola Schmidtt.
