Chloe Piene (born 1972) is a visual artist known primarily for her drawings.[1][2]
Biography
[edit]Piene received her BA in Art History with a concentration in Northern Renaissance Art from Columbia University and her MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London.[3][4]
Drawing
[edit]Her drawings have been described as "brutal, delicate, figurative, forensic, erotic, and fantastic".[5][6] A recurring theme is Death and the Maiden (1517) by Hans Baldung Grien.[7] In her charcoal drawings we encounter not Death and the Maiden, but rather the Maiden as Death."[8]
Her work has made various and diverse associations with prisoners, love letters, neolithic burial schema failure, history, heroic transformation, and epic sagas such as the Finnish Kalevala.[9] Her drawings have been described as "brutal, delicate, figurative, forensic, erotic, and fantastic"[10]
One of her many art historical references is Death and the Maiden (1517) by Hans Baldung Grien. In this, a panicked maiden is seized by a kiss from a grotesque and rotten death. "Yet with Piene, the two mythological figures melt together, since in her charcoal drawings we encounter not Death and the Maiden, but rather the Maiden as Death."[11][12]
Video
[edit]Her large-scale video works utilize the greater sensory impact of noise, time, darkness, and misrecognition to visibly extend into the more subterranean levels of experience.[13] Her video “Blackmouth” premiered at the 2004 Whitney Biennia[14]l. “You’re Gonna Be My Woman” was shown at Kunsthalle Bern in 2003[15] and “Little David” for the first time at Marianne Boesky Gallery in 2000.[16] Her military triptych “I’m Hit”, “Gun” and “Shrapnel” 2015 premiered at Suzanne Vielmetter Projects in Los Angeles.
Performance art
[edit]Chloe Piene's exhibition at Marianne Boesky Gallery (2000) included drawings, video and a live performance in which nine former convicts and nine women read from correspondence Piene had with a prisoner serving a 99-year sentence, the performance stemmed from her publication from the correspondences entitled "Lovelady, Texas".[17]
In 2013, Piene held a live event in conversation with a Special Operations Commander in New York under the title "To Serve."[18]
