Eve Brown is a multi-disciplinary artist and movement teacher based in Athens, GA. Brown’s work is ignited by sensations of porosity and a quality of aliveness (lets call it eroticism). Collapsing strict boundaries, complicating binaries and asking into interconnectivity spring a sense of wonder, complication and tension that lead her work. Brown explores a variety of mediums and materials, challenging boundaries in the studio itself around what is and is not off limits. Her studio rebellion is the complicated poetry of the body that spills out into her networks of pieces.
Currently Brown explores textiles, ceramics, modular objects, drawing, and installation. The sculptures and networks come alive through stickiness, accumulation, language and pause. Collaborative, interdisciplinary and bodily research are part of her ongoing investigations. She has an ear to the ground and a cheek in the wind- and wants to see what sticks.
Brown received a full ride to Bard College where she holds a BA. Brown also received the Ellen Battel Stoeckel Fellowship to study at the Yale/Norfolk Summer Painting Program. She is currently an MFA candidate in sculpture at the University of Georgia, where she was also awarded an interdisciplinary research assistantship in the Arts Collaborative. She is the recipient of the Idea Capital Grant and the Nexus Fund Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation. She was awarded a residency at the Maitland Art and History Museum. Brown has shown work at IPSUM Gallery, Whitespace Gallery, Atlanta Contemporary Art, and Gadsden Museum of Art.
